Function Returns Undefined

[Snow]

I am using express.js and try to log all my bots in according to requests made from my python server. I can successfully make my bots logged into steam but can't get returned message (it just returns undefined) to send back to server. 

My code looks like this:

const accounts = []

function addAccount(username, password, twoFactorCode){

    const client = new SteamUser();
    const community = new SteamCommunity();
    const manager = new TradeOfferManager({
        steam: client,
        community: community,
        language: 'en',
        cancelTime: 300000,
        pendingCancelTime: 30000
    });

    const logOnOptions = {
        accountName: username,
        password: password,
        twoFactorCode: SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(twoFactorCode),
    };
    client.logOn(logOnOptions);
    client.on('loggedOn', ()=> {
        //console.log("success")
    })

    client.on('webSession', (sessionid, cookies) => {
        console.log(sessionid, cookies);
        manager.setCookies(cookies, function(err){
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
                return err
            }else{
                console.log("Got API key: " + manager.apiKey);
                return "success";
            }
        });
        community.setCookies(cookies);
    });
    community.on('sessionExpired', () => {
        client.webLogOn();
    });

    accounts.push({"client":client, "community":community, "manager": manager})
}

app.post('/log', (req, res) => {
    if (accounts.length === 0){
        var json_data = req.body
        json_data.forEach(element => {
            var answer = addAccount(element["user_name"], element["password"], element["secret"])
        })
    }else{
    }
    res.json({ "answer": answer })
})

accounts is always going to be empty when your /log listener executes, so no accounts will get added and nothing will be returned.

I misread the code.

I am still using express js and can get accounts array without a problem. What would you suggest instead of adding them to array ?

I misread your code the first time. Looks like your problem is actually that addAccount doesn't return anything.
