Error message when testing out bot

[Mardy321]

@Gobot1234

Its correct tho. I just re-added the identity and shared secret just to make sure. The same error pops up again.

[Mardy321]

Im not sure if this is the reason but I am doing all of this in a new account, so my 7 day restriction hasn't been lifted. Could that be the case why I am getting that error?

[Gobot1234]

You're shared_secret is probably wrong

[Mardy321]

@ctrl-duck

My account will be 15 days active tomorrow.

Ill see whether the same issue pops up for me still.

[ctrl-duck]

• i fixxed my bot, if tomorrow u ll need help reply at this comment 😃

[ctrl-duck]

@Mardy321

[Mardy321]

@ctrl-duck Oh nice!. I will make sure to reach out for your help if I do come across the same error again

[Mardy321]

@ctrl-duck

My 15 days have passed. My bot is now tradable.
Im still getting this error. ._.

What did you do to fix it?

[ctrl-duck]

@Mardy321 my mistake was the .env, it was renamed .env.env because i didn't enabled file extension, after that i renamed that correctly.
then my second error was the unfilled groups, leave it the original groups id numbers,also dont leave blank admin and keep,after these changes my bot started working

[ctrl-duck]

GROUPS=["103582791464047777","103582791462300957"]

this is the link from original wiki for how to see file extension

[Mardy321]

Still not working for me. :( Im getting the same error.

My .eve file is named correct and I filled in the groups.

My SDA says invalid authenticator when I press 'view confirmations'
I was thinking that could be the issue

Is SDA working fine on your side?

[ctrl-duck]

open sda and find "refresh login"

[ctrl-duck]

did it appeared a folder called files? wich contains a folder called as ur steam login, if there is the folder try to delete polldata.json and run it again

[ctrl-duck]

i just noticed this now! im using tf2autobot, it s an updated version of tf2automatic, u should try it maybe it ll solve the problem

[ctrl-duck]

i took another look at ur console log upthere, i think the problem is SDA try to refresh the login (it ll look like the app ll exit from SG codes but it wont, it just update login info without exit from SG codes)

[ctrl-duck]

SG codes keeps going if u have changed password on SDA, SG codes also keeps going even in the mobile app when u log out

[Mardy321]

Hmm. I'll try using autobot. Maybe that'll solve it!

[Mardy321]

I tried logging in again for SDA but to no avail

[ctrl-duck]

mhm... if u have got the folder called files delete polldata.json
if not, be sure file esxtension is enabled in ur file browser.
if the bot never created a folder called files, try to start everything again.
after the download commands git clonde and typescript, now do npm install and wait what the console print on the log, if it writes npm audit fix, run the command and it ll fix missing pieces (i think im not sure), i hope this gonna work 😃

[ctrl-duck]

if it ll keep exiting, just reply again 😃

[ctrl-duck]

@Mardy321

[Mardy321]

@ctrl-duck

In my files there is only loginattempts.json and options.json

[Mardy321]

I switched to tf2 autobot and now a similar error pops up regarding the steam guard codes again

[ctrl-duck]

have u tryed to drag out the folder and start it wout the folder inside?
this can may work

[Mardy321]

@ctrl-duck

Nope. How do I do that?

[ctrl-duck]

drag the folder "files" onto ur desktop

[ctrl-duck]

u can delete too if u want, the bot ll create another one

[ctrl-duck]

u can drag out if u already edited option.json and u want to backup it

[ctrl-duck]

have u ever moved sda folder?

[ctrl-duck]

maybe the bot cant find the sda direcrory if u moved it

[Mardy321]

I dont think I moved the SDA folder.

But just in case, where is it supposed to be located at?

[ctrl-duck]

i ve the folder on my desktop, but i think u can place wherever you want

[ctrl-duck]

does sda allows u to check confirmatios or it shows an error message?

[Mardy321]

It doesnt.

When i click 'view confirmations' it gives me this error

[Mardy321]

Im sure my timezones on mobile and pc are correct

[Mardy321]

This should be the issue here. Im tryna look up on how i can solve this issue

[ctrl-duck]

did u enabled encryption key on Sda? idk if this ll solve the problem

[Mardy321]

Nope. I heard there wasnt a need to but I will try it out.

[ctrl-duck]

take a look on sda issues too, i think u ll find the solution there

[ctrl-duck]

https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator

[Mardy321]

Yup. I actually put my error there a few days back.

Ill try and find a solution. Thanks for all the help by the way. Ill leave a reply when i finally fixed my bot :D

[ctrl-duck]

today my bot crashed and it didn't started again due to dont having a vps and pm2, because i run it in windows, but i deleted the folder named as inside the folder "files", after i deleted the folder into "files" it runned again,
(u ll need this in future) copy what s typed into options.json and pricelist.json for backup them if u edited them.
i hope u ll fix it as soon as possible :D
