Question CEconItem app_data missing

[turtleslol]

I need the

app_data.def_index

of the items i’m receiving or giving in a tradeoffer, but many times app_data is missing.
 
I managed to get around this by editing

checkNeededDescriptions()

in classes/TradeOffer.js so it ignores the

if(!manager._hasDescription(item))

part and pushes the item anyway but i don’t think this is the right solution.
 
Any help? I'm trying to get the def_index in a wrong way? Thanks

If you absolutely need the def_index I think you will have to keep re-checking the trade offer (try again later using TradeOfferManager#getOffer) until you find that the app_data exists.

Well, i hoped there was a better solution but thanks

def_index as the skin index?

Have you noticed whether anything else (for example, name and/or market_name) was missing when you experienced app_data being gone?

Only app_data

EconItem {
  appid: 440,
  contextid: '2',
  assetid: '4723781293',
  classid: '2674',
  instanceid: '11040547',
  amount: 1,
  missing: false,
  currency: false,
  background_color: '3C352E',
  icon_url: '...',
  icon_url_large: '...',
  tradable: false,
  actions: 
   [ { link: 'http://wiki.teamfortress.com/scripts/itemredirect.php?id=5002&lang=en_US',
       name: 'Item Wiki Page...' } ],
  name: 'Refined Metal',
  name_color: '7D6D00',
  type: 'Level 3 Craft Item',
  market_name: 'Refined Metal',
  market_hash_name: 'Refined Metal',
  commodity: false,
  market_tradable_restriction: 7,
  market_marketable_restriction: 0,
  id: '4723781293',
  fraudwarnings: [],
  descriptions: [],
  owner_descriptions: [],
  owner_actions: [],
  tags: [],
  marketable: false }

 

After restarting the bot (or by editing that part of code in OP) app_data is returned correctly again.
