All requests hanging about express-validator

[warycat]

same issue

[ctavan]

#33 (v0.5.0) introduced a breaking change in how to add the middleware. It's now being used the same way as all the standard express middlewares. Instead of

app.use(expressValidator);

you now need to do

app.use(expressValidator());

and you can pass some options as well. Check the README for details.

Let me know if that's the issue.

This fixes the issue for macs. However, on a Windows environment, the method:

app.use(expressValidator());

throws this error:

node_modules\express-validator\lib\express_validator.js:32
req.updateParam = function(name, value) {
^
TypeError: Cannot set property 'updateParam' of undefined

But, using the old method on Windows:

app.use(expressValidator);

works as expected.

I don't think this is OS-related.

Please use

npm ls

to check which version of express-validator you have installed. For versions up to 0.4.x use the old style

app.use(expressValidator);

for versions starting with 0.5.0 use

app.use(expressValidator());

If this did not fix your issue please feel free to re-open this ticket.

You are correct. My apologies! I was thinking of nodejs versions not library versions.
