setPersona to Online not working

[mariodelta]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a Steam Bot.

After successful logging in I change the PersonaState to Online with 

client.setPersona(SteamUser.EPersonaState.Online);

Unfortunately, the Steam Profile is still offline without any errors in the console.

Can someone explain to me what's going wrong at this point?

Please show the code around where you're calling setPersona.

This is my code:

const TradeOfferManager = require('steam-tradeoffer-manager');
const SteamUser = require('steam-user');

let client = new SteamUser();

let loginOptions = {
    accountName: process.env.STEAM_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.STEAM_PASSWORD,
}

client.logOn(loginOptions);

client.on('loggedOn', function() {
    console.log('[BOT] Logged into Steam Account ' + client.steamID.getSteam3RenderedID());
    client.setPersona(SteamUser.EPersonaState.Online);
});

That should work fine. Make sure your profile isn't private, I guess.

The whole profile is set to public. Do you need to deposit $5 dollars before you can interact with the API or something?
