Getting "jwt malformed" upon debugging verify token method #1

Closed joegitau closed 2 years ago

joegitau commented 3 years ago

Hi Tom,

For starters, thank you for taking the time to review this issue.

This is related to an issue I have been getting after following your Youtube tutorial - it is related to verification of tokens - whereby upon debugging the verify method, i get an error: jwt malformed.

Here is the repo to my project - https://github.com/joegitau/node-typescript-api

I cloned your repo and tested it out, it worked fine for me which leads me to think the issue might be with the secret you have set in your .env file. Public and private keys need to maintain their exact formatting. Here is the .env file I used for reference:

Alright. Thanks for taking time to look into this. I will address that and hopefully I will get it sorted out.

I just recently subscribed to your channel and overall I was impressed with the manner at which you structure your projects and expound on matters with ease. I can't wait to see more of your tutorials.

FYI: Had the same issue on the newer Jest implementation repo, based on this codebase.
