GrandExchange.buyItem Error

[botstig 0]

Can't seem to get GE.buyItem() to work.. If I try either API buyitem or searchItem(<ItemName>) it just sits on search screen and times out.

    public static boolean buyItem(int ItemID, int amount, int price){
        if (!isGeOpen()){
            openGE();
        }
        Debug.log("Placing buy offer for x" + amount + " of " + ItemList.getItem(ItemID).name + " for " + price + " each");
        return GrandExchange.buyItem(ItemID, amount, price);
    }

The manual way that is not working either:

       /*
        int slot = GrandExchange.getFirstOpenSlot();
        Debug.log("Available slot " + slot + "!");
        if (slot > -1) {
            Debug.log("Opening available slot " + slot + "!");
            GrandExchange.openBuyScreen(slot);
            Sleep.sleepUntil(GrandExchange::isBuyOpen, 2000);

            Debug.log("Adding buy offer for " + ItemList.getItem(ItemID).name);
            GrandExchange.searchItem(ItemList.getItem(ItemID).name);
            Sleep.sleepUntil(() -> GrandExchange.getCurrentChosenItemID() == ItemID, 5000);

            Debug.log("Setting amount: " + amount);
            GrandExchange.setQuantity(amount);
            Debug.log("Setting price: " + price);
            GrandExchange.setPrice(price);

            Debug.log("Place offer");
            GrandExchange.confirm();
            Sleep.sleepUntil(() -> GrandExchange.slotContainsItem(slot), 5000);
            if (GrandExchange.slotContainsItem(slot)){
                return slot;
            } else {
                return -1;
            }
        } else {
            return -1;
        }

         */

Why make it so difficult. Just use something like

if(GrandExchange.isOpen()) {
    if (GrandExchange.buyItem("Nature rune", 100, 50)) {
        if (Sleep.sleepUntil(GrandExchange::isReadyToCollect, Calculations.random(10000, 20000))) {
            GrandExchange.collect();
        }
    }
}

I tried/am, that's basically the first block, it doesn't search for the item when buyItem or searchItem are called.
The commented code was a attempt to brute force when buyitem wasn't working.

```

if (GrandExchange.isOpen()) {
         if (GrandExchange.buyItem(knife, 1, 150)) {
            log("Buying knife");
            Sleep.sleepTicks(2);

               if (GrandExchange.isOpen()) {
                  if (GrandExchange.isReadyToCollect() && GrandExchange.collect()) {
                       log("Knife collected successfully");
                  } else {
                     log("Failed to collect knife or knife was not ready to collect");
                    }
               }

           }

Okay, I had the same issue and it hasn't been resolved yet so I came up with solution like that: 

			        	if(GrandExchange.openBuyScreen(1)) { // opens buy screen
			        		if(Sleep.sleepUntil(() -> GrandExchange.isBuyOpen(), 4000)) { // waits until open
			        			if(Widgets.getWidgetChild(465, 25, 0) != null && Widgets.getWidgetChild(465, 25, 0).isVisible()) { // checks if the icon that is placeholder for the item in the buy screen is visible and even exists
			        				Widgets.getWidgetChild(465, 25, 0).interact("Choose item"); // iteracts with this button
			        				Sleep.sleep(1000, 2500);
			        				GrandExchange.buyItem(properItemID, buyItemLive, properItemIDPrice); //now this works
			        				Sleep.sleep(1500, 2500);
			        			}
			        		}
			        	}

This solution works, but of course if anything changes with the client and the ID of the widget child changes - you will need to change it too manually. But if it works - leave it Remember to delete comments // 😜
