Epilogue endpoints are not being authenticated with passport

Question

My code is below and the auth complete never gets triggered. I'm not sure why since this is direct from the epilogue docs.

dataplan.list.auth((req, res, context) => {
  console.log('authenticating')
  // return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    console.log('auth with passport')
    passport.authenticate('jwt',{session: false}, function(err, user, info) {
      console.log('auth complete')
      if(err) {
        res.status(500);
        resolve(context.stop());
      }

      if(user) {
        resolve(context.continue());
      } else {
        context.error(new ForbiddenError());
      }
    });
  // }); 
})

FWIW, I used Epilogue on a project recently and regretted it. I found it buggy and the repo is no longer maintained (https://github.com/dchester/epilogue/issues/225) If you are at the beginning of your project, I suggest reconsidering using this library. — mcranston18, Mar 06 '18 at 17:09
Switched to `finale-rest`, which seems to be more maintained — Shamoon, Mar 07 '18 at 15:39

Ensure you are returning a promise in your middleware function. It appears you were doing this but had it crossed out.

dataplan.list.auth((req, res, context) => {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    passport.authenticate('jwt', (err, user, expiry) => {
      if(err) {
        res.status(500);
        return resolve(context.stop());
      }

      if(user) {
        resolve(context.continue());
      } else {
        return resolve(context.error(new ForbiddenError()));
      }
    })(req, res);
  });
});
