"redirectOnTry" make me confused

[wyg27]

Hi,

The doc said:

redirectOnTry - if false and route authentication mode is 'try', authentication errors will not trigger a redirection. Requires hapi version 6.2.0 or newer.

I wrote an example and the part of route like this:

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    config: {
        auth: {
            mode: 'try',
            strategy: 'session'
        },
        plugins: {
            'hapi-auth-cookie': {
                redirectOnTry: false,
                redirectTo: false // If remove this, the route will be always redirected.
            }
        },
        handler: function(request, reply) {
            reply('This is index page.');
        }
    }
})

Please see the comment in the code.

I am new to hapi.js and it's hard to find relevant references with google. I am not sure what exactly this is a bug, just hope someone can guide me. Thanks!

Below is the full code of my example:

BTW: I am using hapi.js v16.4.3

const Hapi = require('hapi')
const CookieAuth = require('hapi-auth-cookie')

const server = new Hapi.Server()

server.connection({
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 3000
})

// register plugins to server instance
server.register(CookieAuth, function(err) {
    if (err) {
        throw err
    }

    server.auth.strategy('session', 'cookie', true, {
        password: 'm!*"2/),p4:xDs%KEgVr7;e#85Ah^WYC',
        cookie: 'tutorials-cookie-auth-example',
        redirectTo: '/',
        isSecure: false,
        validateFunc: function(request, session, callback) {

            var username = session.username
            var user = Users[username]

            if (!user) {
                return callback(null, false)
            }

            callback(err, true, user)
        }
    })

    server.route({
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/',
        config: {
            auth: {
                mode: 'try',
                strategy: 'session'
            },
            plugins: {
                'hapi-auth-cookie': {
                    redirectOnTry: false,
                    redirectTo: false // If remove this, the route will be always redirected.
                }
            },
            handler: function(request, reply) {
                reply('This is index page.');
            }
        }

    })
})

server.start()

I understand now, the "redirectOnTry" should be set in "server.auth.strategy", not in individual route. Sorry to bother you!
