Logging in programmatically from another application
-
@jewa what Node version? Try Node 6 if you're on a newer version.
-
@jewa you shouldn't need to downgrade then. Any version of Node 6.x.x should work.

@julian I am on nodebb version 1.4.3 not sure if that is develop branch as I am not so good with git. Yes it is not related. I just wanted to isolate the cause of my failure to log in programmatically by hosting on Heroku and trying it from there.
I followed the steps here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/9049/getting-nodebb-and-plugins-setup-with-heroku-and-mongodb
and then modified web.js line 34 inside the install folder to port = process.env.PORT || port; Otherwise, it would load at port 4567 which was always failing. I think I also added process.env.PORT to line 145 in loader.js but I don't think that changed anything much. It only started nodebb when I modified web.js

@julian I have ditched Heroku. Deployed the app on cloud9 and it is working fine. I then try to use my plugin and I still get the same error. Here is the error on nodebb

My authorization codes are being created in my database it is just at the exchange point that the failure happens.
It is a pretty awful user experience to log into the forum after logging into my web app.
Would definitely be using nodebb for a stand-alone forum but this is me giving up after a 4 day battle. I might as well have built a very simple forum for my website in those 4 days. Ugh!!!
