Node.js form validation gives Cannot read property 'profileimage' of undefined

I am trying to make a form in Node.js using Express by following a tutorial. I am writing the validation logic which should show error messages if the form
gets submitted empty, however instead of doing that it gives me this error on line 33 and I can't figure out why:
Cannot read property 'profileimage' of undefined
I debugged it but couldn't figure out what is causing this.
What am I doing wrong, how can I fix it?
Here is the form code:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.send('respond with a resource');
});
router.get('/register', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('register', {
'title': 'Register'
});
});
router.get('/login', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('login', {
'title': 'Log In'
});
});
router.post('/register', function(req, res, next) {
var name = req.body.name;
var email = req.body.email;
var username = req.body.username;
var password = req.body.password;
var password2 = req.body.password2;
// Check for Image Field
if(req.files.profileimage){
console.log('uploading File...');
// File Info
var profileImageOriginalName = req.files.profileimage.originalname;
var profileImageName = req.files.profileimage.name;
var profileImageMime = req.files.profileimage.mimetype;
var profileImagePath = req.files.profileimage.path;
var profileImageExt = req.files.profileimage.extension;
var profileImageSize = req.files.profileimage.size;
} else {
// Set a Default Image
var profileImageName = 'noimage.png';
}
// Form Validation
req.checkBody('name','Name field is required').notEmpty();
req.checkBody('email','Email field is required').notEmpty();
req.checkBody('email','Email not valid').isEmail();
req.checkBody('username','Username field is required').notEmpty();
req.checkBody('password','Password field is required').notEmpty();
req.checkBody('password2','Password do not match').equals(req.body.password);
// Check for errors
var errors = req.validationErrors();
if(errors){
res.render('register', {
errors: errors,
name: name,
email: email,
username: username,
password: password,
password2: password2
});
} else {
var newUser = new User({
name: name,
email: email,
username: username,
password: password,
profileImage: profileImageName
});
// Create User
User.createUser(newUser, function(err, user){
if(err)throw err;
console.log(user);
});
//Success Message
req.flash('success', 'You are now registered and may log in');
res.location('/');
res.redirect('/');
}
});

First of all files should be an array. If you are sure you send only one file try with this code block:
// Check for Image Field
if(req.files && req.files[0] && req.files[0].profileimage){
console.log('uploading File...');
// File Info
var profileImageOriginalName = req.files[0].profileimage.originalname;
var profileImageName = req.files[0].profileimage.name;
var profileImageMime = req.files[0].profileimage.mimetype;
var profileImagePath = req.files[0].profileimage.path;
var profileImageExt = req.files[0].profileimage.extension;
var profileImageSize = req.files[0].profileimage.size;
} else {
// Set a Default Image
var profileImageName = 'noimage.png';
}

You have the following line in your code:
if(req.files.profileimage){
when files is undefined, meaning, req does not have the property files (maybe a file was not sent on this request?), then trying to access anything within it will throw an error (and crash your node if you don't catch it)
So, first you should add type safety like so:
if(req.files && req.files.profileimage) {
or, even stricter, like so:
if(typeof req.files === 'object' && req.files.profileimage) {
(Note: you should do type safety test if and only if another part of your code has not already guaranteed that it is safe, e.g. a previous type safety test, or you assigned the property explicitly yourself in the code)
I also see that you are using multer to get a files object in your req object. Accroding to its docs, files can be an array, or an object of strings to arrays, From the "multer" npm page:
If used like so:
app.post('/photos/upload', upload.array('photos', 12), function (req, res, next) {
It will be an array:
req.files is array of photos files
req.body will contain the text fields, if there were any
Or, if used like so:
var cpUpload = upload.fields([{ name: 'avatar', maxCount: 1 }, { name: 'gallery', maxCount: 8 }])
app.post('/cool-profile', cpUpload, function (req, res, next) {
then it will be a (String -> Array) object:
req.files is an object (String -> Array) where fieldname is the key, and the value is array of files
e.g.
req.files['avatar'][0] -> File
req.files['gallery'] -> Array
So you should change your code accordingly. For example, if you choose the second method, you should change to the following:
if(typeof req.files === 'object' && req.files.profileimage) {
req.files.profileimage.forEach((profileimage) => {
//do anything you previously did on req.files.profileimage, on profileimage
let profileImageMime = profileimage.mimetype;
//... more things and code...
})
}

Login system using Passport.js is always executing “failureRedirect” (nodejs)

I'm doing a tutorial and I'm stuck in the login area. When I'm login in with Passport.js it always executing "failureRedirect" in authenticate.
After trying to debug replacing the router.post('login') route I received the following message:
Error: null User: false Info: {"message":"Missing credentials"}
After Reading on some forums I think that the problem could be related to body-parser. I've been trying to solve the problem but I haven't been able yet. I'd appreciate the help of a most experienced node.js programmer.

Thanks for your help :)

Please check the code here on https://github.com/rupalipemare/Mongoose-Demo, wherein there is complete example demonstrating passport authentication.

First.. Please try to modularize code. Putting a functionalities in different files can help you track bugs faster. Second why are there two POST calls to login route? Remove the first one and no need to send jsonParser. Yo have declared to serialize and deserialize user. So passport will handle rest.

update is not working mongodb, node.js

I am creating multiplayer game, where I have login system as well. I want to update my user's rating using db.collection.update(), but it is not working. There is no error, just when I write username of my player It says "Unknown User". I write it in my app.js. Besides app.js I have 3 more files for my user.

Thanks a lot in advance. I will be grateful for any help.

Your update code uses raw mongo interface:
User.collection.update(
{ username: "example2" },
{
name: "qq",
rating: 1
}
)
This code replace your document as whole(all missed fields like password and etc will be lost).
You may be want to use followed: {$set: {name: 'qq', rating: 1}}
Or use mongoose interface:
User.update({username: 'example2'}, {name: 'qq', rating: 1});
It will add $set part automatically, if you don't specify safe = false in your model.
Check actual database state before you start to do anything in your code. There are some users incosistent with your model schema, and may be no user with example2 name.

You can not set the header after it has been sent to client.
res.render sends the sends the response when there is error.
After that again you are trying to send the headers via res.location and res.redirect.
Move the res.redirect to the else block.
var multer = require('multer');
var upload = multer();
router.post('/register', upload.array(), function(req, res, next) {
var name = req.body.name;
var email = req.body.email;
..................
if (errors) {
res.render('register', {
errors: errors,
name: name,
email: email,
username: username,
password: password,
password2: password2
});
} else {
var newUser = new User({
name: name,
email: email,
username: username,
password: password,
profileimage: profileimageName
})
//now this is also in the else block
User.createUser(newUser, function(err, user) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(user);
})
req.flash('sucess', 'You are now registered and may login');
res.location('/');
res.redirect('/');
//till here so you don't send response twice
}
})

You are facing this because of :
req.flash('sucess', 'You are now registered and may login'); //this is okay
res.location('/'); //[1]
res.redirect('/'); //[2]
[1] you are setting headers and redirecting to '/' route.
[2] you are setting headers passing status code: 302 and redirecting to '/' route.
oh wait? didn't you already set headers in step 1?
Yes that's what the error means. You can have only one response per request. Use this for more info.

Cannot read property of undefined when uploading empty file

I'm using Node.js (v0.10.25) and Express (4.13.1) and using jade instead of HTML. I have a registration form where a user can registrate and upload a profileimage.
All works fine except when I upload an empty image then the I get the following error:
Cannot read property 'profileimage' of undefined

What I have read and tried:
https://github.com/danialfarid/ng-file-upload/issues/185
nodejs and express error when uploading file, "cannot read property of undefined"
TypeError: Cannot read property 'image' of undefined
On the USER.JS it give the result "undifned" on the first test and on the second test it fails completely. Also I get nog cosole.log for the else statement in the
if (req.files.profileimage){
console.log('Uploading file....');
//File Info
var profileImageOrginalName = req.files.profileimage.orginalname;
var profileImageName = req.files.profileimage.name;
var profileImageMimetype = req.files.profileimage.mimetype;
var profileImagePath = req.files.profileimage.path;
var profileImageExt = req.files.profileimage.extension;
var profileImageSize = req.files.profileimage.size;
} else{
console.log('profileImageFile not found....');
// Set default image
var profileImageName = 'noimage.png';
}

Make sure req.files exists or you will get undefined errors. i.e.:
if (req.files && req.files.profileImage) {
// only if there are files
} else {
// You should see this now
}
