nodes passport Error: Unknown authentication strategy “local-login”

Question

I have been trying to get local authentication work with passport on nodejs and as far as i can tell all of my code it is correct but i keep getting the same annoying error

Answer 1

I also had the same problem but when I put this line of code after the app.use(flash()) it worked:

app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(flash());
require('./config/passport')(passport);

Answer 2

require('./config/passport')(passport);

Change the path of the file. Without this working, passport's configurations will not be passed to the routes.

Here is a snippet of where the line should be located:

// server.js

// configuration
===============================================================
mongoose.connect(configDB.url); // connect to our database

require('./config/passport')(passport); // pass passport for configuration
