done object is not a function

[chewedon]

I'm using Sailsjs,

I'm getting the an error:

object is not a function

For this line:

done(null, profile);

It appears "done" is being returned as an object and from my console log of the done object, it appears the done object s the user's profile.

Update

Erm...so I think I've fixed it.

In the other link:

https://github.com/auth0/passport-linkedin-oauth2/issues/29

I copied this line:

passReqToCallback: true

but after removing it, my return done(null, profile); works....

My only question is....shouldn't there be an extra step after that ?

According to the Linkedin documentation here:

https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/oauth2

I was expecting this library to make a POST request to:

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken

with the following parameters:

• grant_type
• code
• redirect_uri
• client_id
• client_secret

I was watching my Google Chrome network monitor and I didn't see any such accessToken URL....

The Linkedin documentation also states I should get these two things afterwards:

access_token
expires_in

Is this extra step handled in the background for me ? Why doesn't my Google Chrome show any request to:

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken

Anyone got any ideas ?

You won't see these requests in your chrome inspector because the browser isn't responsible for this part of the oauth2 flow. The request for the access token is made server-server automatically by passport.js.
