I updated the kinvey angular sdk from 3.2.2 to 3.3.2 and an issue started happening.

Logging in with invalid credentials gives an error with message: “TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of null”.

Here is the code I test.

$kinvey.User.login(data.username, data.password)

  .then(function () {

  $log.log('EVENT : auth.login -> success');

  //login successfully

  $rootScope.$broadcast('auth.login.success');

  }, function (error) {

  $log.log('ERROR LOGIN')

  ModalNotification.alert({

  title: 'Authentication issue',

  message: error.message

  }).then(function () {

  $log.log('EVENT : auth.login -> error');

  // error login

  $rootScope.$broadcast('auth.login.error', 'error');

  });

  })

3.2.2 error object

3.3.2 error object

I tested this with v3.3.3 and this issue still exists.

Plus one here, frustrating issue trying to catch an response that is guaranteed to be created by users. 

@WonkunKim this is bad but this is the only way have worked around it atm.   

switch(error.name){
        case 'ActiveUserError': 
            //deal with logged in user
          break;
        case 'TypeError':
             //user feedback credentials are wrong and hope nothing else throws this error.
            break;
        default: 
             //error handling
}

Hi Wonkun and Phil,

I am sorry for the inconvenience. The Engineering team is actively working on this.

I fully expect this to be resolved in the next release. I will keep you posted as it happens.

Great thanks Wani. Keep up the awesome work :)

Hi Phil,

I tested login with latest Firefox (50.1.0) with HTML5 SDK v3.3.3 for http://devcenter.kinvey.com/html5/samples/starter and it worked for me.

Can you try the same?

Hi Wani

I was using Firefox 47. But...have since tested again on another machine and it is working thank you. I was out on site and I think the environment was pretty secure, not sure why request are not getting through properly. Ignore Firefox comment, sorry.

 Issue remains for incorrect error response to invalid credentials. 

Cheers Wani

Hi,

We have fixed invalid credentials callback issue in the latest release of HTML5 SDK - v3.3.4. It is available for download here: http://devcenter.kinvey.com/html5/downloads

Can you please try it out and confirm that it works for you?

Wani

Issue resolved :) Thank you for a quick response.
