Maybe a CompareSync Bug

[jackalsin]

I encounter an issue when using CompareSync in model

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs');

// create a schema
var userSchema = new Schema({
  username: { type: String, required: true, unique: true },
  password: {type: String, required:true}
});

userSchema.methods.generateHash = function(password) {
  return bcrypt.hashSync(password, bcrypt.genSaltSync(8), null);
};

// checking if password is valid
userSchema.methods.validPassword = function(password) {
  console.log("Normal call 7 " + password + "\t" + this.password); //todo debug line
  var result = bcrypt.compareSync(password, this.password);
  console.log("Normal 8" + result);
  return bcrypt.compareSync(password, this.password);
};

var Users = mongoose.model('Users', userSchema);
module.exports = Users;

The result is as follows

Normal call 7 password1234      password1234

events.js:74
        throw TypeError('Uncaught, unspecified "error" event.');
              ^
TypeError: Uncaught, unspecified "error" event.

As you can see, the program is normal before calling compareSync, and the Strings to compare are quite reasonable, and it throws an exception

I suspect the error occurs because compareSync(string,hash) takes string as the first argument and hash as the second. I suspect since hash should have considerably longer (and fixed) length, that's where the error occurs.

Thanks for the reply. After 4 days, I found it's a mongoose issue... Sorry for this. You can close now

@jackalsin I read that issue and couldn't figure out what the verdict was. From what I see, bcrypt.hashSync returns a string.

var query = {
    'users._id': user_id
};

var update = {
    '$set': {
        'users.$.password': str
    }
};

Why would this be an issue? Can you please explain what you did to resolve the issue?

var bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs');

var salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync();

var hash = bcrypt.hashSync('foofoo', salt);

console.log(typeof hash);
console.log(hash);

string

I am having the same issue... how is hash not a string?

[jackalsin]

You can console.dir(the_obj_you_want_hash). Mongoose has changed the api. Dir the object.

Fixed. Thanks
