SteamID object generated with node-steamid throws [Error: Failed to set new primary group.] for primaryGroup in editProfile

[Jack]

I got the SteamID for a group from `<groupID64>` on the page like the internet told me: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/projectcrate/memberslistxml/?xml=1

 

SteamID returns:

SteamID { universe: 1, type: 7, instance: 0, accountid: 5921375 }

7 is `CLAN`, so it appears to be working correctly. However:

const SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity');
const community = new SteamCommunity;


const SteamID = require('steamid');
const group = new SteamID('103582791435442783');


community.login({
  'accountName': <username>,
  'password': <password>
}, function(err, user) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }


  community.editProfile({
    'name': <name>,
    'summary': <summary>
    'customURL': <URL>,
    'primaryGroup': group,
    'realName': '',
    'country': '',
    'state': '',
    'city': '',
    'background': '',
    'featuredBadge': ''
  }, function(err) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
  });
});

"[Error: Failed to set new primary group.]"

 

If you generate `group` with another SteamID64 like a profile's it doesn't throw an error, but it obviously also doesn't do anything.

I've now realized that method only sets that group as the primary one, doesn't join it. Which you obviously have to do prior.
