Unknown strategy "local", nodejs and passport - node.js

Question

I checked for answers to this common isue but it seems its pretty a case-by-case, and I cant figure out wth is wrong with my code. Here I set up first my local sign up and then the log in, when I try to login, regardless of the input, I get the "Unknown strategy 'local'" error.
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var mysql = require("mysql");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var cookieParser = require("cookie-parser");
var session = require('express-session');
var passport = require('passport');
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
// expose this function to our app using module.exports
module.exports = function(passport) {
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user.id);
});
// used to deserialize the user
passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) {
connection.query("select * from users where id = "+id,function(err,rows){
done(err, rows[0]);
});
});
passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
// by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
usernameField : 'email',
passwordField : 'password',
passReqToCallback : true // allows us to pass back the entire request to the callback
},
function(req, email, password, done) {
connection.query("select * from users where email = '"+email+"'",function(err,rows){
console.log(rows);
console.log("above row object");
if (err)
return done(err);
if (rows.length) {
return done(null, false, req.flash('signupMessage', 'That email is already taken.'));
} else {
// if there is no user with that email
// create the user
var newUserMysql = new Object();
newUserMysql.email = email;
newUserMysql.password = password; // use the generateHash function in our user model
var insertQuery = "INSERT INTO users ( email, password ) values ('" + email +"','"+ password +"')";
console.log(insertQuery);
connection.query(insertQuery,function(err,rows){
newUserMysql.id = rows.insertId;
return done(null, newUserMysql);
});
}
});
}));
passport.use('local-login', new LocalStrategy({
// by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
usernameField : 'email',
passwordField : 'password',
passReqToCallback : true // allows us to pass back the entire request to the callback
},
function(req, email, password, done) { // callback with email and password from our form
connection.query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '" + email + "'",function(err,rows){
if (err)
return done(err);
if (!rows.length) {
return done(null, false, req.flash('loginMessage', 'No user found.')); // req.flash is the way to set flashdata using connect-flash
}
// if the user is found but the password is wrong
if (!( rows[0].password == password))
return done(null, false, req.flash('loginMessage', 'Oops! Wrong password.')); // create the loginMessage and save it to session as flashdata
// all is well, return successful user
return done(null, rows[0]);
});
}));
}
app.use(passport.initialize());
...
EDIT: Forgot to write this part. Im calling it with:
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('local', { successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/login',
failureFlash: true })
);

Answer 1

Since you defined the strategy as passport.use('local-login', ...), I guess you should use passport.authenticate('local-login') in your endpoint definition(which is not shown).
