I can't get this to work because self._passport.session is undefined

Is this maybe incompatible with a more recent passport version? The code in this repo (snippet of req.login)

    this._passport.instance.serializeUser(user, this, function(err, obj) {
      if (err) { self[property] = null; return done(err); }
      self._passport.session.user = obj;
      done();
    });

whereas the same kind of code (req.login) inside of passport lib/http/request.js

    this._passport.instance.serializeUser(user, this, function(err, obj) {
      if (err) { self[property] = null; return done(err); }
      if (!self._passport.session) {
        self._passport.session = {};
      }
      self._passport.session.user = obj;
      if (!self.session) {
        self.session = {};
      }
      self.session[self._passport.instance._key] = self._passport.session;
      done();
    });

Also why does this module have it's own req.login implementation? Not sure how to get past this.

Hmmm... actually something is reversed between the two... checking more might close this.

Figured it out. I had several different versions of passport in my various node_modules.
