JwtStrategy requires a secret or key

[aabanaag]

I get this error JwtStrategy requires a secret or key I followed the steps from NestJS on how to integrate passport for authentication.

constructor(private readonly authService: AuthService) {
    super({
      jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),
      secretOrKey: process.env.JWT_SECRET
    })

    console.log(process.env.JWT_SECRET)
    console.log(this)
  }

the console looks like this

JwtStrategy {
  name: 'jwt',
  _secretOrKeyProvider: [Function],
  _verify: [Function],
  _jwtFromRequest: [Function],
  _passReqToCallback: undefined,
  _verifOpts: {
    audience: undefined,
    issuer: undefined,
    algorithms: undefined,
    ignoreExpiration: false
  },
  authService: AuthService {
    repository: Repository {
      manager: [EntityManager],
      metadata: [EntityMetadata],
      queryRunner: undefined
    },
    userService: UserService { repository: [Repository] }
  }
}

Any ideas?

Figured out the issue, on my local.strategy file instead of importing Strategy from passport-local it imported from passport-jwt which is causing the issue

What did you do to fix this? I am having same issue too and I can't seem to pin point what needs to be fixed

[bunny234]

Check "local.strategy.ts" if you have one and replace import { Strategy } from 'passport-jwt'; with import { Strategy } from 'passport-local';

Resolví el problema, en mi archivo local.strategy en lugar de importar la estrategia de passport-local que importó de passport-jwt que está causando el problema

this worked for me

this worked for me, excellent!

It worked for me as well. But I would like to know why is it this way? If anyone can explain would really help, since the entire reason for importing from passport-jwt is that we want to implement that particular strategy

[gbubemi22]

thank you for that passport-local

Hi, I have this same issue but I tried this suggestion and it didn't work for me.

here's what my jwt strategy looks like

export class JwtStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy) {
    constructor(
        @Inject(jwtConfig.KEY)
        private jwtConfiguration: ConfigType<typeof jwtConfig>,
        private authService: AuthService
    ) {
        super({
            jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),
            secretOrKey: jwtConfiguration.secret,
            ignoreExpiration: false
        });
    }

    async validate(payload: PayloadType) {
        const userId = payload.userId
        return this.authService.validateJwtUser(userId)
    }
}

and here's what my error is:
