Not passing tests

this app is doing what it says and redirecting me I cannot go to https://authentication-fcc-curriculum.glitch.me/passport why is it not passing the challenge?

The old way:

      app.route('/profile')
          .get((req,res) => {
        res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/profile');
        })

Does allow the user to go to the profile.

The challenge says “Now add ensureAuthenticated as a middleware”. and it gives you these lines to just copy and paste.

app.route('/profile')
  .get(ensureAuthenticated, (req,res) => {
       res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/profile');
  });

any advice on how to set it up or why its not passing?
here is the code:

'use strict';

const express     = require('express');
const bodyParser  = require('body-parser');
const fccTesting  = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');
const session     = require('express-session');
const passport    = require('passport');
const mongo       = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const ObjectID    = require('mongodb').ObjectID;
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local');
const app = express();
fccTesting(app); //For FCC testing purposes
app.use('/public', express.static(process.cwd() + '/public'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.set('view engine', 'pug')

app.use(session({
  secret: process.env.SECRET,
  resave: true,
  saveUninitialized: true,
}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

mongo.connect(process.env.DATABASE, (err, db) => {
    if(err) {
        console.log('Database error: ' + err);
    } else {
        console.log('Successful database connection');

        passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
          done(null, user._id);
        });

        passport.deserializeUser( (id, done) => {
            db.collection('users').findOne(
                {_id: new ObjectID(id)},
                (err, doc) => {
                    done(null, doc);
                }
            );
        });
      
        passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
          function(username, password, done) {
            db.collection('users').findOne({ username: username }, function (err, user) {
              console.log('User '+ username +' attempted to log in.');
              if (err) { return done(err); }
              if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
              if (password !== user.password) { return done(null, false); }
              return done(null, user);
            });
          }
        ));

        app.route('/')
          .get((req, res) => {
            res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/index', {title: 'Hello', message: 'login', showLogin: true});
          });
      
        app.route('/login')
          .post(passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect: '/' }),(req,res) => {
               res.redirect('/profile');
          });
      
           
    function ensureAuthenticated(req, res, next) {
      if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
      return next();
      }
      res.redirect('/');
      };

        app.route('/profile')
          .get(ensureAuthenticated, (req,res) => {
        res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/profile');
        });


}});



        app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, () => {
          console.log("Listening on port " + process.env.PORT);
        });

guys this was fixed by changing the title to ‘Home page’ in the pug index template. I found this solution on the forums, why was this not mentioned in the challenge? time was spent trying to solve this when nothing was wrong with the code.

This is still an issue as of 2019-09-24.

Here is a related PR (pull request) to try and fix the boilerplate template:
