Hi all I am messing with Koa and Koa passport and experiencing an issue when working with Koa passport and variants on the LocalStrategy. First I tried to option into the LocalStrategy the passing of the req to the authentication method (your function is stored in their _.verify variable). A snippet of the code in LocalStrategy:
if (self._passReqToCallback) {
this._verify(req, username, password, verified);
} else {
this._verify(username, password, verified);
}
No go - the app just hangs (which doesn't happen if you don't option that method in). So then I decided to mess with my own strategy to see where things are off. Ultimately I started looking at passport/middleware/authenticate.js where the authenticate function returns a contained authenticate function, where there is a self invoked attempt function.
Here (well at least here) looks to be the issue. An attempt to access the req variable gives the "Internal error: illegal access" message. However access to the res and next parameters from the same signature return appropriate values - "object" and "function".
I am a bit lost here, and while I could work around this, I would rather not.
Update 1
koa-passport/lib/framework/koa.js there is a req object that is "mocked" out of the koa context, via Proxy, which might be the cause of the "illegal access" message. Accessing req.path works fine at this point/file...
