Hey,
I just downloaded superpowers-0.18.1-win-x64.zip on Windows 7.
I run it and double-click on My Server.
Whatever I type in the username box I click Log In and it flashes a Connecting... screen for a split second and it returns to the Log In screen.
Nothing else happens. No errors. Nothing. Whats wrong? :(
That's very weird, it likes the cookie with your username can't be set somehow? Can you try leaving the launcher running and connecting through your Web browser at http://localhost:4237/ instead?
OK, let's dig deeper :D
1. Open Superpowers/resources/app/server/index.js and look for:
function redirectIfNoAuth(req, res, next) {
if (req.cookies["supServerAuth"] == null) {
res.redirect("/login?redirect=" + encodeURIComponent(req.originalUrl));
return;
}
next();
}
2. Now, remove the 4 first lines in the function, so that it looks like this:
function redirectIfNoAuth(req, res, next) {
next();
}
This will remove the server-side cookie check. Restart your server. Does it work?
3. Now, try logging the cookies being sent to the server:
function redirectIfNoAuth(req, res, next) {
console.log(req.cookies);
if (req.cookies["supServerAuth"] == null) {
res.redirect("/login?redirect=" + encodeURIComponent(req.originalUrl));
return;
}
next();
}
Are the cookies properly logged in the server console?
4. Now open Superpowers/resources/app/public/SupClient.js and look for:
var supServerAuth = cookies.get("supServerAuth");
var socket = io.connect(window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/" + namespace, { transports: ["websocket"], reconnection: options.reconnection, query: { supServerAuth: supServerAuth } });
Insert a console.log call between the two lines:
var supServerAuth = cookies.get("supServerAuth");
console.log(supServerAuth);
var socket = io.connect(window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/" + namespace, { transports: ["websocket"], reconnection: options.reconnection, query: { supServerAuth: supServerAuth } });
Open the devtools (F12). What does the Console tab say?
That should help a bit, I got other ideas if needed.
It's the same with those lines removed.
The cookie is fine, it says
{"serverPassword":"qwerty","username":"mm"}
on both ends. It must be something after the authentication.
here's the next() function in redirectIfNoAuth, if that helps:
if (err && err === 'route') {
return done();
}
var layer = stack[idx++];
if (!layer) {
return done(err);
}
if (layer.method && layer.method !== method) {
return next(err);
}
if (err) {
layer.handle_error(err, req, res, next);
} else {
layer.handle_request(req, res, next);
}
}
