i was learning how to make a login system with Express JS and a got that error in the Validator function and i don't know what's wrong with it nothing wrong with the syntax and it works in the tutorial that i am watching after serching in Github and other sites i found nothing and when i asked someone he told me something about NodeJs version but i am not sure about that, i don't know how to fix that.
This is my erorr:
//the erorr msg
erorrFormatter: fuction(param, msg, value){

Right, in your code you have the following;
erorrFormatter: fuction(param, msg, value){
There is a missing n in this, so replace with;
erorrFormatter: function(param, msg, value){
Simple typographical error in this instance, but adding the n should resolve pretty quickly

I am doing the Coursera course on Server-Side Development and I have followed the instructions precisely. I keep getting this error, however. There are no relevant posts on their Discussion platform, and I cannot seem to debug because (if you see below) the trace is solely referring to files in the node_modules folder that are established upon initialization of the project as a node project. Thus, I am stuck. Presumably there is "something" wrong with my code, but since the trace is not referring to anything I coded, I am lost. I also thought that perhaps I failed to install express, but I have tried reinstalling as per instructions in the course and that doesn't seem to solve the problem.
Has anyone encountered this specific error when creating a Node.js project and, if so, what did you do to solve?
Login sessions require session support. Did you forget to use express-session middleware?
This is the app.js code:
var createError = require('http-errors');
const express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var logger = require('morgan');
const session = require('express-session');
var FileStore = require('session-file-store')(session);
var passport = require('passport');
var authenticate = require('./authenticate');
var config = require('./config');
var indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
var usersRouter = require('./routes/users');
var dishRouter = require('./routes/dishRouter');
var leaderRouter = require('./routes/leaderRouter');
var promoRouter = require('./routes/promoRouter');
const uploadRouter = require('./routes/uploadRouter');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.Promise = require('bluebird');
const Dishes = require('./models/dishes');
const url = config.mongoUrl;
const connect = mongoose.connect(url);
connect.then((db) => {
console.log('Connected correctly to the server.');
}, (err) => {console.log(err); });
var app = express();
// Secure traffic only
app.all('*', (req, res, next) => {
if (req.secure) {
return next();
}
else {
res.redirect(307, 'https://' + req.hostname + ':' + app.get('secPort') + req.url);
}
});
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session()); // FOund this in the Forum not Given Code
// Note that these two mountings occur before authentication
app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/users', usersRouter);
// Authentication is now completed
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
// This is where the mounting occurs
app.use('/dishes', dishRouter);
app.use('/promotions', promoRouter);
app.use('/leaders', leaderRouter);
app.use('/imageUpload',uploadRouter);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
next(createError(404));
});
// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
// set locals, only providing error in development
res.locals.message = err.message;
res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};
// render the error page
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error');
});
module.exports = app;
This is the index.js file:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});
module.exports = router;
Per the doc for session-file-store, the proper initialization is this:
const session = require('express-session');
const FileStore = require('session-file-store')(session);
const fileStoreOptions = {};
app.use(session({
store: new FileStore(fileStoreOptions),
secret: 'keyboard cat'
}));
You seem to be missing the app.use() part that actually initializes express-session.

Any hints on what could be the issue? I checked the lines that are being mentioned in the thrown error and can not find anything that is broken, and I have also checked other questions on this error, none that helped me. Any help is appreciated , thanks!
From the stack trace, it looks like the problem is caused by this line:
var routes = require('./routes/index')(passport);
If you look in your routes/index.js, you are exporting a router with:
module.exports = router;
Well, the problem is that you can't call router(passport). That's not a legit way to use a router. I can't tell what you were really trying to do with that. I would assume you want to hook your routes into the app with something like:
app.use(routes)
But, maybe you had some other intention there. In any case, router(passport) isn't something you can do.
FYI, it is a very useful skill to learn how to read these stack traces. You're typically looking to start at the top of the stack trace and go down line by line until you find a line of code that's in your own source file (your code that triggered this). Then, go examine that exact line with the context of what the eventual error was and see if you can then see what's wrong with that line of code or with the parameters used in that line of code.
I'm getting this unsolvable error and I am stucked with this.

I am working on a Nodejs Web application project which is based on Express Framework. I am working on creating a Sign up page. After giving the username and password the url should be redirected to profile page. In the views folder I created a file "profile.hbs". But the profile is not being recognized and I getting 404 not found. Please share your ideas on how to debug this issue.Thanks in advance.

You need to use app.use(multer({dest:'./uploads/'})) in the form of one of these:
app.use(multer({dest:'./uploads/'}).single(...));
app.use(multer({dest:'./uploads/'}).array(...));
app.use(multer({dest:'./uploads/'}).fields(...));
ie:
app.use(multer({dest:'./uploads/'}).single('photo'));
And be sure to have something like:
<form action="/postPhotos" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="photo">
<input type="submit" value="Upload photo">
</form>
In your html.
