Express: req.flash() requires sessions

node.js express passport.js passport-local connect-flash

The issue was with how my view was getting rendered (using req.flash data)

Changing this:

loginShow: function(req, res){    res.render('login', { message: req.flash });}

To this:

loginShow: function(req, res){    res.render('login', { message: req.flash() });}

Fixed the error and causes connect-flash to act as expected.

node.js express passport.js passport-local connect-flash

Is your redis-server running? Try

redis-server

This solved the issue for me.
