User Unable to Add Exercise Due to Expired Token Error #4

Closed Dash10107 closed 1 month ago

Dash10107 commented 1 month ago

Problem: Users are encountering an "Authorization token required" error while trying to add exercises to the app (as shown in the screenshot). This issue occurs because the token is not being validated correctly.

Cause: The issue stems from the middleware where the code checks for "authorisation" instead of the correct spelling "authorization." As a result, the middleware fails to recognize the token and thus the user, leading to the error.

Why It’s Important: Without fixing this, users are unable to add their workouts or interact with the app's main functionality. This breaks the user experience and prevents further app engagement.

Proposed Solution: Update the middleware to check for "authorization" instead of "authorisation." Ensure token validation is functioning correctly across all routes that require user authentication. Test thoroughly to ensure the issue is resolved.
