Registration doesn't work

[kabukky]

Hey,
using http://localhost:8080/auth/register to register a new user doesn't seem to work. After the POST, there is no new user in the MemStorer, only the default one.
There is also no activity about a confirmation mail.
Since ab.Mailer = authboss.LogMailer(os.Stdout) is set, I was assuming to see at least something about it in the console.
Is there something to configure first?

Thanks
Kai

Hello!

Sorry for that; the issue is there was an error with the validation (it was looking for "username" instead of "email").

The default validators when you call authboss.New() are the following:

c.Policies = []Validator{
    Rules{
        FieldName:       "username",
        Required:        true,
        MinLength:       2,
        MaxLength:       4,
        AllowWhitespace: false,
    },
    Rules{
        FieldName:       "password",
        Required:        true,
        MinLength:       4,
        MaxLength:       8,
        AllowWhitespace: false,
    },
}

The default primaryID for authboss is "email', not "username". I've have pushed the fix to authboss to prevent this issue: 7cb7298

Alternatively you can override the validators in blog.go

ab.Mailer = authboss.LogMailer(os.Stdout)

// Set new policies
ab.Policies = []authboss.Validator{
    authboss.Rules{
        FieldName:       "email",
        Required:        true,
        AllowWhitespace: false,
    },
    authboss.Rules{
        FieldName:       "password",
        Required:        true,
        MinLength:       4,
        MaxLength:       8,
        AllowWhitespace: false,
    },
}

if err := ab.Init(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Works like a charm now. Thanks :)
