How to update req.user session object set by passportjs?

Question

I\'m trying to do this since a lot of days but all my tests fails...

Users on my platform connect them by using passportjs strategies (paypal, facebook, google...).<

Answer 1

I got the same problem and finally I found the solution:

var user = newDataObj;
req.logIn(user, function(error) {
    if (!error) {
       console.log('succcessfully updated user');
    }
});
res.end(); // important to update session

The req.logIn will call serialize function and save a new session to db. res.end() is important. without it the session will not be saved.
