JwtStrategy requires a secret or key

See original GitHub issue

I get this error JwtStrategy requires a secret or key I followed the steps from NestJS on how to integrate passport for authentication.

constructor(private readonly authService: AuthService) {
    super({
      jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),
      secretOrKey: process.env.JWT_SECRET
    })

    console.log(process.env.JWT_SECRET)
    console.log(this)
  }

the console looks like this

JwtStrategy {
  name: 'jwt',
  _secretOrKeyProvider: [Function],
  _verify: [Function],
  _jwtFromRequest: [Function],
  _passReqToCallback: undefined,
  _verifOpts: {
    audience: undefined,
    issuer: undefined,
    algorithms: undefined,
    ignoreExpiration: false
  },
  authService: AuthService {
    repository: Repository {
      manager: [EntityManager],
      metadata: [EntityMetadata],
      queryRunner: undefined
    },
    userService: UserService { repository: [Repository] }
  }
}

Figured out the issue, on my local.strategy file instead of importing Strategy from passport-local it imported from passport-jwt which is causing the issue

Check “local.strategy.ts” if you have one and replace import { Strategy } from ‘passport-jwt’; with import { Strategy } from ‘passport-local’;
