Basic authentication from documentation does not work
See original GitHub issueBug Report
Current behavior
Following the examples from documentation for authentication i got 2 problems.
- Passport returned:
[Nest] 27924 - 2019-11-14 15:16:06 [ExceptionHandler] Authentication strategies must have a name +3ms
Error: Authentication strategies must have a name
at Authenticator.use (C:\Users\Vinicius\Code\dms-2\node_modules\passport\lib\authenticator.js:56:22)

at callback (C:\Users\Vinicius\Code\dms-2\node_modules\@nestjs\core\injector\injector.js:74:41)
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
I solved this with:
export class LocalStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy, "local") {
instead of
export class LocalStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy) {
- having the controller like:
import { Controller, Request, UseGuards, Post } from "@nestjs/common";
import { AuthGuard } from "@nestjs/passport";
@Controller("auth")
export class AuthController {
@UseGuards(AuthGuard("local"))
@Post("login")
async login(@Request() req) {
return req.user;
}
}
and doin a request for this controlle with login and password throws:

the auto-import used
import { Strategy } from ‘passport-strategy’;
instead of
import { Strategy } from ‘passport-local’;
