mock server is not receiving the full request anymore

[paraita]

Hi,

I use json-server to mock some authentication endpoint, with the following code:

var jsonServer = require('json-server');
var express = require('express');
var server = jsonServer.create();
var middlewares = jsonServer.defaults();
server.use(middlewares);

server.post('/rest/my/login-endpoint', function (req, res, next) {
    console.log('LOGIN');
    var data = "";
    req.on('data', function(chunk) {
        console.log("Received body data:");
        console.log(chunk.toString());
        data += chunk.toString();
    });
    req.on('end', function() {
        console.log('body:');
        console.log(data);

        // We assume the request is well formed
        var pairs = data.split('&');
        var username = pairs[0].split('=')[1];
        var password = pairs[1].split('=')[1];

        // check the user/pass
        var statusCode = 404;
        if (username == 'user' && password == 'pwd') {
            console.log('login successful');
            statusCode = 200;
        }
        res.status(statusCode);
        res.setHeader('content-type', 'application/json');
        res.write('MOCKED_SESSION_ID');
        res.end();
    });
});

server.use(express.static('public'));
server.listen(8080, function () {
    console.log('JSON Server is running');
});

On 0.8.14, the following curl command works:
curl --request POST --url http://localhost:8080/rest/my/login-endpoint --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'username=dazdaz&password=pwd'

The log on json-server are:

node test/json-server-data/mock-scheduler-rest.js
JSON Server is running
LOGIN
Received body data:
username=dazdaz&password=pwd
body:
username=dazdaz&password=pwd
POST /rest/studio/login 404 7.344 ms - -
LOGIN
Received body data:
username=dazdaz&password=pwd
body:
username=dazdaz&password=pwd
POST /rest/studio/login 404 2.160 ms - -
^C

But it doesn't work anymore on 0.8.21, as the curl seems to hang indefinitely, and I have the following log on json-server:

node test/json-server-data/mock-scheduler-rest.js                                                                                                                 
JSON Server is running
LOGIN

I am using:

• npm 3.10.8
• nodejs 6.7.0
• Archlinux

Hi @paraita,

Thanks for the detailed code 👍 . I tried with 0.8.20 and it works.

In 0.8.21, body-parser middleware was included in jsonServer.defaults() but it doesn't seem work well in some cases #363.

I've removed it in next branch but it's not yet ready to be published. Until then, I would suggest sticking to 0.8.20.

Thank you @typicode for your answer, I'll stick with 0.8.20 for now :)

Closing this issue as it's a duplicate of #363
Also I've published v0.9.0-beta.2 which should solve this issue.

You can install it using npm install json-server@next.
Let me know if you spot any issue :)

Thanks I've updated successfully to 0.9.0 and 9.4 :)
