Purchasing with Puppeteer fails when running cron job

[JesalR]

Currently using the latest image 836bd35be10d

Describe the bug When running the cronjob to purchase a game, the API request fails with error 400 as seen in other other bugs and so falls back on Puppeteer (short). It logs my email, but then does nothing after that. If I restart the docker container with runOnStartup: true, it will get the same 400 response from the API, but this time will create a captcha request email, and complete the purchase through puppeteer one the captcha is filled.

[LilTrublMakr]

I am experiencing the same. Though mine is slightly different in that I am unable to do the CAPTCHA because when I click the link, I just get "Connection refused" even if I click on the link the second it gets posted to my notifications. I have tried deleting the container and all data and starting fresh with a new cookie and everything.

I can PM the screenshot if needed.

Could you try again with debian image charlocharlie/epicgames-freegames:bullseye-slim ? Sounds similar to #164

[claabs]

I'm currently working on porting the image to a Fedora-based image for various reasons (see https://github.com/claabs/epicgames-freegames-node/issues/195#issuecomment-1000105985). If you want to try that out, just use the :dev tag. bullseye-slim will likely be deprecated very soon.

[JesalR]

dev gave me:

Setting timezone: UTC
Run on startup: false
Run once: false
Setting cron schedule as 5 * * * *
/bin/sh: line 1: flock: command not found

Tried bullseye-slim and it has worked today, will double check tomorrow’s free game to see if it has the same issues on the second purchase.

[claabs]

Sorry about that. Just pushed a fix for that https://github.com/claabs/epicgames-freegames-node/commit/c44190f1161aa61265ce672117f865ef0ca0d56d

[LilTrublMakr]

I still get the same thing with both dev and bullseye branches. At least now I can click the links and finish the transaction manually.

[JesalR]

I now get a captcha request each day to complete the purchase in the dev branch, assuming that’s the behaviour I should expect?

[claabs]

Yes. A captcha is served for every purchase now. That's just a thing on Epic's side.

I'll close this now since it's kind of two issues at once. Feel free to open a new issue if something else pops up.
