Passport Authenticate doesn't redirect

问题

I was writing a local-signup strategy and noticed that it doesn't work so I stepped back and tried to authenticate against my empty collection. Every time I submit the form it takes ~30-40s until it results in a timeout. I ensured passport.authenticate() is called but it seems ike it's not doing any redirects and hence it is timing out because I am not rendering something either.

Questions:

I expected that it would do a redirect to the failureUrl (which is '/signup'), but instead nothing is happening. What am I doing wrong here?
Why there is no single log message coming from passport? This is driving me crazy because I have absolutely no idea what is going wrong there.
I am new to node.js and as far as I got I don't need to pass the configured passport object to the router but instead I can just do const passport = require('passport') is that correct?

This is my function handler for the /signup route:

function processSignup (req, res) {
    logger.info("POST request received")
    logger.info(req.body)
    passport.authenticate('local', {
        successRedirect : '/profile', // redirect to the secure profile section
        failureRedirect : '/signup', // redirect back to the signup page if there is an error
        failureFlash : true // allow flash messages
    })
}

Winston prints:

7:32:04 PM - info: POST request received 7:32:04 PM - info: username=dassd@dass.de, password=dasdsa, submit=Register

My passport.js file looks like this:

const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy
const User = require('./user-model')
const passport = require('passport')

// expose this function to our app using module.exports
function config() {
    passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
        done(null, user.id)
    })

    // used to deserialize the user
    passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) {
        User.findById(id, function(err, user) {
            done(err, user)
        })
    })

    passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
        function(username, password, done) {
            User.findOne({ username: username }, function(err, user) {
                if (err) { return done(err); }
                if (!user) {
                    return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username.' });
                }
                if (!user.validPassword(password)) {
                    return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect password.' });
                }
                return done(null, user);
            });
        }
    ));
}

module.exports = {
    config: config
}

The relevant snipped of my app.js:

// required for passport
require('./authentication/passport').config();
app.use(cookieParser())
app.use(bodyParser())
app.use(session({ 
    secret: 'secretToBeChanged',
    saveUninitialized: false,
    resave: false
}))
app.use(passport.initialize())
app.use(passport.session()) // persistent login sessions
app.use(flash()) // use connect-flash for flash messages stored in session

After a quick look at the documentation for passportjs, I think you need to do something like this:

function processSignup (req, res, next) {
    logger.info("POST request received")
    logger.info(req.body)
    const handler = passport.authenticate('local', {
        successRedirect : '/profile', // redirect to the secure profile section
        failureRedirect : '/signup', // redirect back to the signup page if there is an error
        failureFlash : true // allow flash messages
    });
    handler(req, res, next);
}

passport.authenticate() returns a function that is meant to be used as the route handler function.
Normally, you would type something like:

app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', {
  successRedirect: '/',
  failureRedirect: '/login',
  failureFlash: true 
}));

But since you have abstracted with your own route handler function, you need to invoke the one returned from passport.authenticate().

In the end Mikael Lennholm was right and he pointed me into the right direction. I couldn't find that in any passport.js tutorials. However the passport.js documentation contains this code snippet which represents the same but I prefer it's code style:

passport.authenticate('local', function(err, user, info) {
    if (err) { return next(err); }
    if (!user) { return res.redirect('/login'); }
    req.logIn(user, function(err) {
      if (err) { return next(err); }
      return res.redirect('/users/' + user.username);
    });
  })(req, res, next);
