Current behavior

I’m getting the following error:


TypeError: Cannot read property 'challenge' of undefined
    at allFailed (/Users/fpachecoibz/Documents/git/fpachecoibz-service/node_modules/passport/lib/middleware/authenticate.js:107:52)

Expected behavior

Guard should block the request when I try to call the /user/all route

PassportModule has to be injected everywhere where you want to take advantage of defaultStrategy option. You should at least re-export module by putting it inside the exports array. I just published 5.0.1 that includes more descriptive errors to anticipate such issues in the future.

The error appears when I protect a route using:

@UseGuards(AuthGuard())

But if we add ‘jwt’ inside AuthGuard(), works:

@UseGuards(AuthGuard('jwt'))

I only have one strategy, jwt.
