Error on getting userinfo

[gustavosooeiro]

Hi,

I've just downloaded your code to learn about go and jwt. When trying to access the userinfo api i received a message, that I could not figure what is the problem. I hope you can help me undestand:

[negroni] PANIC: interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not *jwt.Token

/api/users/info is a protected route. It sounds like you are trying to access with endpoint without a token. You must login an existing user or create a new one. Both actions will return a token that can be used to access protected routes. Try following the instructions in the readme. You must first start the Go server backend. For the frontend you can either create a production build or run a separate development server. Then access the web site with your browser. Hope that helps.

I did everything you just said Mark. I was logged in. I've got this error just trying to access the route, when clicked in the user info menu link. So, as I am logged in, the problem must be that there somewhere in the code the token is not been passed correctly. I just cant say where exactly. Can you tell? I haven't changed anything in your code!

I believe it is fixed now. Please pull the latest code and try again. The problem was an update to the jwt middleware software I used.

Still the same error :(

I'm sorry, without more information, I can't tell what the problem is. I was able to duplicate your error, but it is now fixed for me. Perhaps try a "go get -u ./..." in the project root. Then restart everything.

I've seen this exact same issue. In my case, I'd used go modules to pull down the dependencies. After much debugging I eventually discovered that the version of JWT middleware I was using wasn't the latest! I had somehow managed to grab a version from 2016-04

v0.0.0-20160421215738-f3f7de3b9e39

After coaxing go modules to get the latest version from 2017-04

v0.0.0-20170425171159-5493cabe49f7

the problem I was having with getting userinfo was resolved.
