NodeJS Passport Autehntication Bad Request - node.js

Question

I'm trying to follow a tutorial video on how to use passport with node but for some reason I keep getting a bad request error, I tried some of the example on passport's site, including the custom callbacks as well as some suggestions from forums but no luck. It seems that the program is not even calling passport.use (i tried putting a console message but it doesn't come up at all).
passport-config:
module.exports = function(){
var passport = require('passport');
var passportLocal = require('passport-local');
var userService = require('../services/user-service');
passport.use(new passportLocal.Strategy({usernameField: 'email'}, function(email, password, next){
console.log('========TEST=======');
userService.findUser(email, function(err, user){
if(user){
console.log(user.email + ' found!');
}
if(err){
return next(err);
}
if(!user || user.password != password){
return next(null,false);
}
next(null, user);
});
}));
passport.serializeUser(function(user, next){
next(null, user.email);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(email, next){
userService.findUser(email, function(err, user){
next(err, user);
});
});
};
User route:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var userService = require('../services/user-service');
var passport = require('passport');
/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('users', {
title: 'Users',
description: 'This is the users page'
});
});
router.get('/login', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('users/login', {
title: 'Login',
description: 'Please login'
});
});
router.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local'), function(req, res, next){
res.redirect('/items');
});
module.exports = router;
user-service:
var User = require('../models/user').User;
exports.addUser = function(user, next){
var newUser = new User({
firstName: user.firstName,
lastName: user.lastName,
email: user.email.toLowerCase(),
password: user.password
});
newUser.save(function(err){
if(err){
return next(err);
}
next(null);
});
};
exports.findUser = function(email, next){
User.findOne({email: email.toLowerCase()}, function(err, user){
next(err, user);
});
};

Answer 1

Try changing your passport variable in your app.js file to use your config instead of the passport module.
var passport = require('./auth/passport-config');
Remove the following from app.js
var passportConfig = require('./auth/passport-config');
passportConfig();
