Receiving 404 "Not Found" but i'm setting ctx.response.body = token

Hi!

I keep getting 404 "Not Found" while i’ve already set ctx.response.body = token *where toke is a valid token in my tests (with supertest & in postman).

Is there a way to publish the token and override the “Not found” message?

Here is how i’m making the token

const signUp = async (ctx, next) => {
    
    const bodyInfo = await ctx.request.body;

    if(!bodyInfo.username || !bodyInfo.password) {
        ctx.status = 402;
        ctx.body = "Error, username and password must be provided!";
    }

    const userInst = new User(bodyInfo);

    userInst.save(async(err, user) => {
        
        if(err) { return next(err); }

        const token = tokenForUser(user);

        ctx.body = token; //- <-- Passing the token.

        return next();
    });
};

export { signUp, signIn };

the route that i hit to get this middleware is

router.post('/signup', signUp);

//- oddly enough

router.post('/signup', signUp, async (ctx, next) => {
    const res = await ctx.response;
    
     //- returns a lot of good stuff including `token` but can't publish token outside.
     console.log(res); 

I wish to override “Not Found” message and the whole ctx.response cause i get really long weird pre made 404s for a route that is preset.

Here is my stack trace.

Thank you.

    userInst.save(async(err, user) => {
        
        if(err) { return next(err); }

        const token = tokenForUser(user);

        ctx.body = token; //- <-- Passing the token.

        return next();
    });
};

this is wrong, use userInst.save like a promise

const user = await userInst.save();
const token = tokenForUser(user);

ctx.body = token;

return next()

if your database manager dont support promises, build your own promise

in my case, it was about calling await next() at the end of the middleware.
