Passport.authenticate redirects nowhere - node.js

Question

I was trying to learn how to use passport-local with its documentation and I could do this, however when I submit the form it does not redirect to any site
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const passport = require("passport");
const localStrategy = require("passport-local").Strategy;
const UserList = [{ email: "1#1", password: "1" }];
passport.use(new localStrategy(async (email, password, done) => {
const thisUser = UserList.find(x => x.email = "email" && x.password == password);
return done(null, thisUser)
}));
router.get('/signup', (req, res) => {
res.render('auth/signup.hbs')
});
router.post('/signup', (req, res) => {
passport.authenticate('local', {
successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/login'
})
});
module.exports = router;

You forgot to initialize passport with
app.use(passport.initialize());
and serializeUser with
passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
You can view the full example below. I did a test and it worked.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
var passport = require('passport');
var morgan = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
app.use(morgan('dev')); // log tất cả request ra console log
app.use(cookieParser()); // đọc cookie (cần cho xác thực)
app.use(bodyParser()); // lấy thông tin từ html forms
app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); // cài đặt ejs là templating
app.use(passport.initialize());
const UserList = [{email: "1#1", password: "1"}];
passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
passReqToCallback: true // cho phép chúng ta gửi reqest lại hàm callback
},
function (req, email, password, done) {
process.nextTick(function () {
const thisUser = UserList.find(x => x.email = "email" && x.password == password);
return done(null, thisUser)
});
}));
//
// routes ======================================================================
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('index.ejs'); // load the index.ejs file
});
app.get('/signup', function (req, res) {
res.render('signup.ejs');
});
app.post('/signup', passport.authenticate('local-signup', {
successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/signup',
}))
// launch ======================================================================
app.listen(port);
console.log('The magic happens on port ' + port);
