has no method 'middleware' about mongoose-auth

[bnoguchi]

Can you create a self-contained gist, so that I can re-create this issue independently on my machine?

Sorry, but this was my fault. I was able to get it to work just fine. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, though!

[christopherdebeer]

@geetarista , I'm having the same problem, could you please explain what the issue was. thanks in advance.

[geetarista]

@christopherdebeer I honestly don't remember exactly what it was, but I remember that it was something I missed in the documentation, which is why I didn't post it here.

I have the same issue, did you remember what is missing?

[bnoguchi]

@christopherdebeer @dmmalam Can you share gists of your code here, so I can help you out?

[dmmalam]

This was solved by initializing mongo BEFORE configuring express

[christopherdebeer]

@dmmalam thanks, I ended-up just using every-auth and mongoose (not mongoose-auth), but i'll look back into it.

I have spent a bunch of time trying to solve the problem. At last I looked into the mongoose-auth source.
The reason of such a behavior is that the module exports a function (plugin). Extending the module with everyauth methods (middleware and helpExpress) is performed INSIDE of the exported function (see source — https://github.com/bnoguchi/mongoose-auth/blob/master/index.js#L78)
So the only obvious way to use those methods is to invoke a mongoose-auth's exported function at least once.
Let me show (assuming server is express or connect server):

The following WILL work:

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    mongooseAuth = require('mongoose-auth');

...

var UserSchema = new Schema({});
UserSchema.plugin(mongooseAuth, {
    facebook: true
});

...

server.use(mongoose.middleware());

The following WILL NOT work:

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    mongooseAuth = require('mongoose-auth');
...

server.use(mongoose.middleware());

...

var UserSchema = new Schema({});
UserSchema.plugin(mongooseAuth, {
    facebook: true
});

@tsabolov any progress, or any info about whether a fix is coming?

[tsabolov]

@paulshapiro As I am not the author of this project, I absolutely have no idea about when it will be fixed.
For myself I have fixed it the following way:
At the very end of the file /index.js there are such a lines:

  // Delegate middleware method to
  // everyauth's middleware method
  exports.middleware = everyauth.middleware.bind(everyauth);

  // Delegate helpExpress method to everyauth.
  // Adds dynamic helpers such as loggedIn,
  // accessible from the views
  exports.helpExpress = everyauth.helpExpress.bind(everyauth);
};

To make the module work with just requiring it move exporting of function out of the function just like below:

};
// Delegate middleware method to
// everyauth's middleware method
exports.middleware = everyauth.middleware.bind(everyauth);

// Delegate helpExpress method to everyauth.
// Adds dynamic helpers such as loggedIn,
// accessible from the views
exports.helpExpress = everyauth.helpExpress.bind(everyauth); /* NOW THIS IS THE LAST LINE IN THE index.js */

@tsabolov, ic, thanks. will keep this in mind.

@tsabolov Thanks for your comment! I adjusted the schema placement, and it ran like a charm.

@tsabolov, npm package 0.0.11 which is the current master version, is working in my case without updating the changes your mention.

I could get all working well when i follow the configuration steps on the correct order.
