[BUG] user state is always EPersonaState.Offline

[The0nix]

Description
I login to a client using cli_login and when I try to get any user from my friendlist, his state is always EPersonaState.Offline even if he is currently playing. rich_presence is also empty. If I access the user via client.get_user(steam_id), the state is also EPersonaState.Offline.

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
e.g.

>>> from steam.client import SteamClient
>>> client = SteamClient()
>>> client.cli_login()
*login*
>>> for user in client.friends:
>>>    print(user)
<SteamUser(76561197988455464, EFriendRelationship.Friend, EPersonaState.Offline)>
<SteamUser(76561197988741908, EFriendRelationship.Friend, EPersonaState.Offline)>
<SteamUser(76561197997584155, EFriendRelationship.Friend, EPersonaState.Offline)>
<SteamUser(76561198006010809, EFriendRelationship.Friend, EPersonaState.Offline)>
... (everyone is EPersonaState.Offline)

Expected behavior
State depicts the real state, rich_presence contains necessary information

Versions Report

python -m steam.versions_report

`python -m steam.versions_report` says No module named steam.versions_report

pip list says steam is 1.2.0

I installed with pip install -U 'steam[client]'

[The0nix]

I installed version 1.1.1 and everything works there.

UPD: Nope, it only works every other time

Most likely there is enough time for presence data to be requested and arrive before you try listing the users.

Try waiting with client.friends.wait_event(client.friends.EVENT_READY) before the loop

Thank you for a swift reply!
That does not seem to work, however:

Code

from steam.client import SteamClient

client = SteamClient()


@client.friends.on(client.friends.EVENT_READY)
def print_friends_info():
    for user in client.friends:
        try:
            print(user.state)
        except AttributeError as e:
            print(e)


client.cli_login()

try:
    client.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    client.logout()
    raise SystemExit

Output

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'persona_state'
...

(If I use client.friends.wait_event(client.friends.EVENT_READY), the event seems to happen before this code.so the wait hangs)

[rossengeorgiev]

Yeah, that can happen you can check if it already ready before waiting:

if not client.friends.ready:
    client.friends.wait_event(client.friends.EVENT_READY)

In your example where you register a callback, you will have to define it earlier. Ideally before logging in.

Considering this as resolved
