Error: malformed response

[woepertjes]

Tiny bit of background:
I've got multiple bots, B1 to B7.
B1 is the receiving bot shall i say. It's supposed to send a tradeoffer (function seen below), the command works though i get the following error: Error: "Malformed response".

What the bot is supposed to do:

1. Receive command
2. create tradeoffer
3. send tradeoffer

after these three steps its supposed to wait till the offer is accepted.

The context ID for csgo cases is 2, the appid of csgo is 730. so i dont really know whats causing this problem. the bots are always online and logged in.

function tradecases(botid, senderid) {
    var appid = 730;
    var contextid1 = 2;
    
    bots[botid].offers.loadInventory(appid, contextid1, true, (err, myInv) => {
        if (err) {
            logger.error(err);
        } else {
            bots[botid].offers.loadUserInventory(senderid, appid, contextid1, true, (err, theirInv) => {
                if (err) {
                    logger.error(err);
                } else {
                    var theirItem = theirInv
                  bots[botid].offers.offer.addTheirItem(theirInv);

                  bots[botid].offers.offer.setMessage('This is an automated tradeoffer for all your trading cards. You can change it if you want.');
                  bots[botid].offers.offer.send((err, status) => {
                      if (err) {
                          logger.error(err);
                      } else logger.info('sent offer status: ' + status);
                  });
                }
            });
        }
    });
}

any ideas anyone?

Verify that the bot is correctly logging in and that senderid is what you think it is. Where is the error being thrown? loadInventory, loadUserInventory or offer.send?

this is the error im getting:

verbose: [B1] Received message from non-botadmin: !test error: Error: Malformed response at SteamCommunity.<anonymous> (F:\va\node_modules\steamcommun ity\components\users.js:309:15) at Request._callback (F:\va\node_modules\steamcommunity\compo nents\http.js:67:15) at Request.self.callback (F:\va\node_modules\request\request. js:186:22) at Request.emit (events.js:180:13) at Request.<anonymous> (F:\va\node_modules\request\request.js :1163:10) at Request.emit (events.js:180:13) at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (F:\va\node_modules\request\re quest.js:1085:12) at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:272:13) at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:185:15) at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:1101:12)

Bot is logging in correctly, senderid is what i think it is (person who sent the command). last but not least i dont see where the error is being thrown. It's possible that im looking over it, my eyes arent what they used to be.
