I've been struggling with the user login redirection issue on my website. No matter what changes I make, it keeps redirecting to failure instead of success. I'm not sure if I missed something or did something wrong. The documentation for passport was confusing for me when I tried reading it. If you need to review the rest of the code, here is the link to my GitHub repository: https://github.com/gego144/to-do-list-website/tree/main
const customFields = {
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password'
}
const verifyCallback = (username, password, done) => {
user_exists = userName_Checker(username), function (err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (userName_Checker(username) == false) {
console.log('wrong user');
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username.' });
}
if (password_finder(username, password)) {
console.log('wrong pass');
return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect password.' });
}
console.log('wtf');
return done(null, user);
};
;
}
const strategy = new LocalStrategy(customFields, verifyCallback);
passport.use(strategy);
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) {
User.findById(id, function(err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
});
// function that checks if the user's email is in the database
function userName_Checker(email_name){
var sql = "select * from info where email = ?";
var user_email = [[email_name]];
db.query(sql, [user_email],function (err,result){
if (err) throw err;
var not_unique = result.length;
if(not_unique == 0){
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
}
)}
// function that checks if the password in the database matches the email
function password_finder(email_name, pass){
var sql = "SELECT password FROM info WHERE email = ?";
var user_email = [[email_name]];
db.query(sql, [user_email],function (err,result){
if (err) throw err;
bcrypt.compare(result, pass, function(err, res){
if(err){ throw err};
if(res){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
})
}
)}
This is the post method in my other file:
app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', {
successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect:'/index.html',
failureFlash: true
}))
Edit 1. I also noticed that the console logs in the verify Callback function are not logging anything for some reason.
