Application redirects to /active when used as express middleware

[endorama]

As reported by @digitaljohn and me in #587.

Step to reproduce:

• use kue app in a express application:

  var app = express();  
  
  app.use(kue.app);
  
  app.listen(3000);
  

• try to reach http://localhost:3000

Expected behaviour:
Redirect to http://localhost:3000/active

Actual behaviour:
Redirected to http:///active/

Kue version: 8.1.2
Express version: 3.1.2
Npm version: 2.7.4
Node version: 0.12.2

whats your kue version?

[endorama]

8.1.2

[behrad]

we have no 8.1.2 version, dya mean 0.8.12 ?

[behrad]

if so, 0.8.12 is based on express 3.x and I don't think it can sit as a middleware in an express 4 app

[behrad]

however I'm not an express man, so any patches are welcome if anybody can provide something to fix this

[endorama]

Ups sorry :) yes is 0.8.12. I had a look at the code but is really simple, so the problem could be a little weird.

Hope to have time to look into this a bit more in the next weeks

[behrad]

have you tested if the above code (express 4.x) works in kue 0.9.0 ?

[h2non]

I'm experimenting the same trouble. I'll take a look to the code

[h2non]

Seems like this is related to the Express version. In my case using 3.x, where the req object interface is not the same as expected with Express 4.x. The field baseUrl is missing in 3.x and old versions.

[h2non]

I've created a PR that should fix this issue. #594

[behrad]

tested in 0.9.0, thank you @h2non

I need to secure kue dashboard with password.

Other endpoints are authenticated by other methods.

I am trying as follows:

  var basicAuth  = require('basic-auth-connect')
  ....
   // Securing dashboard app
    var subApp = express()
    // add authentication
    subApp.use(basicAuth('foo', 'bar'))
    // re-add kue.app (but dont put it in its own folder)
    subApp.use('', messagesMod.kueDashboardApp)
    server.use('/kue', subApp)

[hellboy81]

If I call /kue endpoint, I got redirect to /kueactive

I am using kue with fixed bad redirect URL issue

[behrad]

why not to use server.use('/kue/', subApp) ?
