Help with login using Adonis V6

[jlmacedo]

Hi,

I need some help to make login using Session file.

async login({ session, request, auth, response }: HttpContextContract) {
    const email = request.input('email')
    const password = request.input('password')

    try {
      const user = await User.verifyCredentials(email, password)

      await auth.authenticate(user)

      // OR return a success response (for APIs)
      return response.redirect().back()
    } catch (error: unknown) {
      // Authentication failed
      // For web apps, redirect back with an error message
      // response.redirect().back().with('error', 'Invalid credentials');
      session.flash('notification', {
        type: 'error',
        message: 'Invalid credentials',
      })

      //return response.json(error)

      // For APIs, return an error response
      return response.redirect().back()
    }
  }

I'm getting the return below, when I try to make login with the right email and password:

{
"name": "E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS",
"status": 401,
"code": "E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS",
"identifier": "errors.E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS",
"guardDriverName": "session",
"renderers": {}
}

Because you are using the wrong method to login the user. Please follow the documentation

Wich is the method? Because I tried "login" and "authenticate" and not work, and I dont see other method in the documentation of Adonis.JS v6. In the v5 there's the method "attempt"

Now I undertand the problem, I have a mixed route, and can't use the middleware to check if the user is logged. There's a way to verify this?
