app fails when todo is added

[sfthurber]

i'm using a windows 10 machine and experiencing app failure when a todo is added.

here is the console:

bundle.css 5.89 kB 0 [emitted] bundle
bundle.js.map 2.81 MB 0 [emitted] bundle

(NOTE: i registered and logged in first)

console message (from the code below) shows ctx.account.id is undefined and account.token is ok.

`export async function login(ctx) {
const { username, password } = ctx.request.fields
const account = await Account.findOne({
username,
password: sha512(password, { salt: username })
})
if (!account) throw new Exception('Wrong credentials')

account.token = createAuthToken(account._id)
await account.save()

ctx.cookies.set('token', account.token)
ctx.body = account.toJSON()
console.info('Logged-in context '+ ctx.account.id + ' ' + account.token)
}`

experiencing the same issue on MacOS

• cloned repository
• mongodb is running
• registered / logged in
• when adding todo I see the same error message

anyone came across this and was able to fix it?

I was experimenting with this starter kit as well.
Changes:

• src/config/context.js line 7 to const request = requestCreator(state)
• core/request.js replace token with state.account.token

Reason: The variable token was initialized on pageload and not in the mobx-observable anymore, so it wouldn't change when the user logs in.

Have fun!

Thanks, great example!
In case anybody wondering how the newest package.json file should look like
