[BUG] manifests for some Steam apps are now dicts, not plain IDs, causing CDNClient.get_manifests to crash #436

smcv · 2023-05-05T16:17:14Z

Description
Some Steam apps (the one I'm aware of is 1628350 "Steam Linux Runtime - Sniper") have changed their ['apps'][id]['manifests'][branch] from a plain manifest ID (ASCII decimal string) to a key/value dictionary with members gid, size and download, causing CDNClient.get_manifests to crash.

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Run https://gist.github.com/smcv/8430646f3cf5e502711ddf3ea620eaea with --interactive. You might need a Steam account that has added 1628350 "Steam Linux Runtime - Sniper" to the Steam library - it's free, and is used by Proton 8.0.

Expected behavior
The script can download and display VERSION.txt from each branch of each of the Steam Linux Runtime depots.

Screenshots
For 1391110 "Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier" my script is still working:

App ID: 1391110 (Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier)
	Branch: public
		Build ID: 10940185
		Updated: 2023-04-26T15:48:12+00:00
		Depot: 1391111
			Manifest: 5271457197581595980
				#Name	Version		Runtime	Runtime_Version	Comment
				depot	0.20230405.47174			# Overall version number
				pressure-vessel	0.20230405.0	scout		# pressure-vessel-bin.tar.gz
				scripts	0.20230405.0			# from steam-runtime-tools
				soldier	0.20230405.47174	soldier	0.20230405.47174	# soldier_platform_0.20230405.47174/

but for 1628350 "Steam Linux Runtime - Sniper" it now crashes:

This appears to be caused by the VDF returned for EMsg.ClientPICSProductInfoRequest having changed. For soldier I get

	"depots"
	{
		"1391111"
		{
			"config"
			{
				"oslist"		"linux"
				"osarch"		"64"
				"language"		""
			}
			"manifests"
			{
				"public"		"5271457197581595980"
				"client_beta"		"3684425101439344717"
				"previous_release"		"1306141847442826428"
			}
...

but for sniper I now get

	"depots"
	{
		"1628351"
		{
			"config"
			{
				"oslist"		"linux"
				"osarch"		"64"
				"language"		""
			}
			"manifests"
			{
				"public"
				{
					"gid"		"820291660013951810"
					"size"		"703682881"
					"download"		"188124800"
				}
				"client_beta"
				{
...

Some depots now have a dict like {"public": {"gid": GID, ...}, ...} where we would traditionally have seen a flat dict {"public": GID, ...}. Not all depots have this: at the time of writing, 1628350 "Steam Linux Runtime - Sniper" does, but 1391110 "Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier" does not. Presumably this is a change that is being rolled out gradually to let the Steam client give better estimates of the size of a depot. Cope with either format, by retrieving the gid field if the nested dict is present. Resolves: ValvePython#436 Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>

Fix proposed in #437.

rossengeorgiev · 2023-05-05T23:30:08Z

Can confirm that there a changes to product info data. I'll need to review all parts that are affected in the code base.

DevilXD · 2023-06-11T16:12:36Z

This issue is breaking my use-case. Is there any ETA on when will this be merged?

App ID I'm using: 596350.

smcv · 2023-06-13T15:51:11Z

This issue is breaking my use-case

Does #437 solve this for the subset of the API you use? If yes, perhaps the maintainer could consider merging that as a stopgap solution, even if there are other locations needing a similar change?

Totengeist · 2023-06-13T16:30:54Z

Does #437 solve this for the subset of the API you use?

It works fine for my very simplistic use-case.

DevilXD · 2023-06-13T16:58:07Z

@smcv Yes, I'm actually already using that PR instead of the official package while I'm waiting, and it does work. Haven't encountered any issues. My use-case involves downloading a single file from via the CDN, from a particular app ID and depot, latest manifest.

mommalongnips · 2023-07-23T23:21:19Z

My use case is also suffering from this issue. @smcv your fix resolves it for me. Can we merge in this change? Please!

MichaelHinrichs · 2023-11-10T15:52:19Z

Using file_list = mycdn.iter_files(appID) works with @smcv's solution, but now i can't use next(file_list), print(file_list), print(my_file) one at a time, or list(file_list)[:len(file_list)]. I just get the same error from the beginning of this issue.
