Passport authenticate doesn't works and redirects to the url specified

I have installed express-session before initializing passport yet the passport authenticate doesn't works and it simply redirects to the failureRedirect url without any errors or messages.
i have checked that passport initializing works perfectly just authentication is not working

Why are passportjs' req methods not working and flagged as 'not a function'?

the req.isAuthenticated an req.logout seems not to be working and flagged as 'not a function' in my project. here's the code for the project. my verify function seems not to be working as expected.
i've worked other video tutorials aside the paid tutorial i'm watching now on udemy, yet i get the same error on my end or my session's aren't stored.

i get 'undefined' when i log 'user'
my verify seems not to be working properly
passportjs req.method() isn't working.

passport.initialize() middleware not in use

I am using node, express, mongoose and passport for my project and I implemented a simple Log In functionality to my code as seen below in app.js and it works perfectly. I then tried to split my code because I want to use MVC and this time when I run my application and try to log in I get the passport.initialize() middleware not in use Error. I have tried everything that other users in other posts have suggested but to no avail. Any suggestions?

There are two problems here:
You create new app more than once. First in app.js, then in loginController.js. You should use just one instance of app, otherwise it's like a second server and your middleware won't work properly.
In your example, you never initialize passport (using passport.initialize()). In the first sample (that is working), there are many lines of passport initialization, including strategies and stuff - everything after // passport setup for auth login. Then they're gone. You need to bring them back ;)

req.user is undefined after passport.authenticate

I'm having issues getting access to req.user after I login. The passport authentication works and I initially get the req.user information to send to the client side after logging in but it becomes undefined immediately after.Here is a picture of the console showing this. How can I stop req.user form being undefined after logging in? It looks like it is in the session for a brief moment after the initial login. I've spent hours for fixes but nothing seems to work.
Below is how I handle the login.
router.post(
'/login',
function (req, res, next) {
next()
},
passport.authenticate('local', { failureFlash: true, failureRedirect: '/login' }),
async (req, res) => {
const fullUser = await User.findOne({ username: req.user.username })
console.log(req.user)
console.log(req.session)
res.send(fullUser);
}
)
Below is the server setup.
const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local');
const User = require('./models/user');
const usersRoutes = require('./routes/users-routes');
const chirpsRoutes = require('./routes/chirps-routes');
const singleRoutes = require('./routes/single-routes');
const HttpError = require('./models/http-error');
const MongoDBStore = require('connect-mongo')(session);
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
const connectUrl = 'mongodb info removed';
mongoose.connect(connectUrl, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useCreateIndex: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
useFindAndModify: false
});
const db = mongoose.connection;
db.on("error", console.error.bind(console, "connection error:"));
db.once("open", () => {
console.log("Database connected");
});
// const connectConfig = {
// useNewUrlParser: true,
// useCreateIndex: true,
// useUnifiedTopology: true,
// useFindAndModify: false
// }
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true })); //used to parse req.body
const secret = process.env.SECRET || 'thishouldbeabettersecret!';
const store = new MongoDBStore({
url: connectUrl,
secret,
touchAfter: 24 * 60 * 60
});
store.on("error", function (e) {
console.log("SESSION STORE ERROR", e)
})
const sessionConfig = {

secret,
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false,
cookie: {
httpOnly: true,

maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7
}
}
app.use(session(sessionConfig))
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(User.authenticate()));
//Add user to session
passport.serializeUser(User.serializeUser());
//Remove user from session
passport.deserializeUser(User.deserializeUser());
// middleware
app.use((req, res, next) => {
// res.locals.currentUser = req.user; //passport user
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'); //set header on resposne
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, X-Requested-Width, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization'); //incoming requests handle
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE');
console.log('******REQ.USER******' + " " + req.user)
console.log('******SESSION BELOW******')
console.log(req.session)
next();
})
app.use('/auth', usersRoutes)
app.use('/chirps', chirpsRoutes)
app.use('/:uid', singleRoutes)
app.use((req, res, next) => { //error handling for invalid routes
const error = new HttpError('Could not find this route.', 404);
return next(error);
})
app.use((error, req, res, next) => {
if (res.headerSent) {
return next(error);
}
res.status(error.code || 500);
res.send({ message: error.message || 'An unknown error occurred!' });
})
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Serving on port ${port}`)
})
Below is the User schema.
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose');
const UserSchema = new Schema({
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
about: String
});
//add username & password to UserSchema
UserSchema.plugin(passportLocalMongoose);
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
And lastly, below is my login post request that I handle with React.
function loginUser(username, password) {
try {
const data = {
username,
password
}
axios.post('http://localhost:5000/auth/login', data)
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data)
if (response.status === 200) {
auth.login(response.data._id,response.data.username)
history.push('/chirps');
}
})
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
}

Passport + NodeJs + Express getting "req.user" undefined

I am facing a session problem, Getting req.user undefined after successful passport. authenticate method.
Basically after signUp or login, when I am redirecting, unable to find "user" in request variable.
I have used a hackathon starter which was using mongo, I tried to change things to use Postgres.
Edit -- After following suggestions on Comment
Now signup flow is working fine, but login flow having some problem. Something weird happening, when I am adding a lot of breaking points, It seems to do login intermittently. Update code with comment suggestions

In your app.js, you need to call const passportConfig = require('./config/passport'); after you initialize passport, like so:
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
// place it here
const passportConfig = require('./config/passport')(passport);
Further, you need to adjust your password config file (./config/passport), so that on module loading it can get the passport instance that you instantiated in app.js, and subsequently uses it instead of loading a new passport instance via require('passport') - this in my opinion messes things up; didn't test it though. :)

Can you share the user object sample which refer to this code in your passport.js LocalStrategy
user.comparePassword(password, (err, isMatch) => {....});
looks like user.id is not available in serializeuser below which may be the cause it cant set user.id in the session and cant deserialize User further not setting the user object in req
passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
done(null, user.id);
});
