Stuck on "Awaiting mobile confirmation"

[kreghx]

Hello,

 

My bot sometimes gets stuck at "Awaiting mobile confirmation", which is annoying for the customers who want to receive their items.

I'm using the example code of steam-tradeoffer-manager on Github. Is there anything to do against this? 

Kind regards

You need to confirm them. You can use node-steamcommunity's confirmation stuff for this.

Hello,

 

It is already implemented, but +- 1/50 sent offers are stuck on waiting for confirmation. Using Steamcommunity.
I think this is the same problem as https://dev.doctormckay.com/topic/173-confirmation-didnt-go-through/ . You've said that the libraries take care of the DeviceID, am I doing it correctly or am I missing something here ?

function login() {

  steam.login(logOnOptions, function (err, sessionID, cookies, steamguard, oAuthToken) {
    if (err) {
      console.log("Steam login fail: " + err.message);
    }


    fs.writeFile('steamguard.txt', steamguard);
    console.log("Logged into Steam");

    var mycookies = manager.setCookies(cookies, function(err) {
      if(err) {
        console.log(err);
        throw err;
        return;
      }

      console.log("Got API key: " + manager.apiKey);
      steam.startConfirmationChecker(2000, identity_secret);
      console.log("Confirmation Checker has started");
      offerItems();
      checkUnsentOffers();
    });
  });
}

Kind regards

Two things:

1. Sometimes confirmations just don't show up at all. That's just Steam being Steam. See #27.
2. 2000ms is really low for polling. The recommended minimum is 10,000ms for a reason.
