Did you build esniper from the 'legacy' branch git repository ?

[Michael S.]

On the page that occurred, you are prompt to type a bid ("Enter your maximum bid:").
Did you miss to enter a price in your auction file ?

[Phil Dibowitz]

my auction file has:

264813200660 41

in it.

As to the build, no I downloaded the latest tarball and built that back in February... and it looks like its still the latest (2.35.0).

[Michael S.]

The same version number does not mean, that the sources are identical. I've checked esniper using a build from git and it works. No error.

[Phil Dibowitz]

I'm aware that the same version number doesnt' mean the same code, but if it's the same tarball from the download link, then it should be.

I did a build from git master, and now I can't get past login. It gets caught on the security page, I did what I usually do to work around this: go to a browser and logout/in, but I continue to get hit on this and now now auctions work:

[Michael S.]

You need to build esniper from the legacy (with ist currently the defaut) branch.

[Phil Dibowitz]

Tried legacy, still fails on the auction in the original post. Other auctions are fine.

[Michael S.]

Item 264813200660 isn't an auction. If you want to buy it: Just buy it via the "By it Now" button.
