Smart Ations fields hooks endpoint cannot authenticate

[dejanpzg]

Expected behavior

When I Create an action

    {
      name: 'Remove Video',
      type: 'single',
      httpMethod: 'DELETE',
      endpoint: '/api/forest/page-contents/playlists/videos',
      download: false,
      fields: [
        {
          field: 'video',
          isRequired: true,
          type: 'Enum',
          enums: [],
        },
      ],
      hooks: {
        load: ({ fields, request }) => {
          return fields;
        },
      },
    }

I expect endpoint POST 'http://localhost:3000/api/forest/page-contents/playlists/videos/hooks/load' to be called and authentication completed and my endpoint to be called that returns a list of fields

  @Post('page-contents/playlists/videos')
  removePlaylistVideos(@Body() request: ForestRequestDto<PlaylistContentDto>): any {
    return {
      fields: [
        {
          field: 'video',
          type: 'Enum',
          enums: ['Video 1', 'Video 2'],
          position: 0,
          defaultValue: null,
          isRequired: false,
          description: null,
          reference: null,
          widget: null,
          value: null,
        },
      ],
    };
  }

Actual behavior

Current behavior is that it calls my endpoint 'http://localhost:3000/api/forest/page-contents/playlists/videos/hooks/load' but authentication fails with message Unauthorized: Forest cannot authenticate the user for this request. For some reason it doesn't have request.user and authentication fails even though all headers are sent as expected.

Smart action that is passing:

And hook that is not passing:

Hello,
Can you share your route declaration please?

[dejanpzg]

I don't have route declarations, this is all I have regarding the config

app.use(await forest.init({
configDir: 'forest-config',
envSecret: process.env.FOREST_ENV_SECRET,
authSecret: process.env.FOREST_AUTH_SECRET,
objectMapping: mongoose,
connections: connections,
}));

[Scra3]

Do you follow this documentation to declare your smart action ?

[dejanpzg]

I'm using it with nestjs so not really. Just the part defining collection actions, not the part with router

[Scra3]

You must use the forestadmin middleware on the routes to be authenticated.
