OAuth Login Issues Error: /api/auth/google/[object%20Object] is not a valid path.

[ChrisSQL]

Hi

Ive been working on a project for a while and this problem just popped up. Im not sure how far back the problem occured or on what commit.

When someone logs in with Facebook or Google it redirects to the server 404 page and shows

Page not found Error: /api/auth/google/[object%20Object] is not a valid path.

However if i refresh the page the user is logged in.

This issue is related/duplicate of #1284

Refer to users.authentication.server.controller.js >>> exports.oauthCallback

exports.oauthCallback = function (strategy) {
    ...
    return res.redirect(redirectURL || sessionRedirectURL || '/');
    ...
}

I debugged and found that redirectURLreceived is an object {} (it is not actually nullor undefined). So redirectURLwill be return in conditional expression redirectURL || sessionRedirectURL || '/'

My solution for this issue is: check type of redirectURL is string or not

    return res.redirect(typeof redirectURL == 'string' ? redirectURL : sessionRedirectURL || '/');

@chrismaher can you confirm that this issue is fixed in the master branch?

Thank you @thodinh

FYI, this is still return res.redirect(redirectURL || sessionRedirectURL || '/'); on 0.4.2. Updated local code with the fix here and it worked.
