SailsJS v0.1 + PassportJS

Question

SailsJS v0.1 + PassportJS

I've used PassportJS within SailsJS v0.9.x and it worked flawlessly. Now updated to v0.1 and passportJS doesnt seem it work.

What I've done in http.js:

passportInit: require('passport').initialize(),

And added passportInit to the middleware list.

I've defined my BasicStrategy like:

passport.use(new BasicStrategy(
  function(email, password, next) {
     // does not get called nor does it throw an error
  }
));

I'm calling this strategy with:

passport.authenticate('basic', {session: false}, function(err, user, info) {
  // ...
});

This does not return an error. It does return a nil user. Also when I remove this new BasicStrategy, it does throw an error that strategy Basic is not defined.

Anyone ideas?

node.js
sails.js
passport.js

I am facing same issue with SailsJS with PassportJS. I solved it by this way :-

someCtrl: function(req, res, next) {   
 passport.authenticate('basic', {session: false}, function(err, user, info) {
  // ...
})(req, res, next);
}
