TypeError: Cannot read property 'user' of undefined

First, thanks for all your work on this library! I've been using it to get auth working quickly with couchdb.

Second, I'm seeing an error when attempting to register a new user with 0.14.0:

(node:79787) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'user' of undefined

To reproduce: I think the relevant parts of my config are:

  local: {
    // Set this to true to disable usernames and use emails instead
    emailUsername: true,
  },

  userDBs: {
    defaultDBs: {
      private: ['user'],
      shared: []
    }
  }

Then, I issue the following request: The request succeeds with 200 OK

% curl -X POST \
  -d '{"email": "test@example.io", "password": "password1", "confirmPassword": "password1"}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  http://localhost:3001/auth/register

{"success":"Request processed."}           

But looking at the server logs I see the following stacktrace:

POST /auth/register 200 26.512 ms - 32

Do you know what this could be? I tried clearing everything in sl-users and _users but still no luck.

Hi,

• did this happen with a „clean” setup of 0.14.0 or did you upgrade from a previous version? When upgrading from 0.13.X or the old superlogin, manual migration is required, check the Changelog.
• can you verify that the view auth/expiredKeys exists in the sl-users DB?
• If not, can you provide an example repo to reproduce the error from scratch?

This shouldn't happen if everything is set up correctly.

Ah I think a config entry under userDBs for the model is still expected, eventhough it should not be necessary anymore. Can you try this as a workaround?

 userDBs: {
    defaultDBs: {
      private: ['user'],
      shared: []
    },
   model: {
     user: {}
   }
  }

Can you install this commit and let me know whether it fixed the issue without modifying the config?

npm i github:@sl-nx/superlogin-next#dfc9151

Fixed in the most recent release.
