“发送后无法设置标头”和空的发布请求正文

Question

I've been following a tutorial for a login/register authentication application. I keep getting the error "Can't set headers after they are sent" whenever I send POST requests. I tried to console.log the request body and it were empty. I don't know where I did wrong. Please help.

users.js

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var User = require('../models/User')

/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  res.send('respond with a resource');
});

router.get('/register', function(req, res, next) {
  res.render('register', {title:'Register'});
});

router.get('/login', function(req, res, next) {
  res.render('login', {title: 'Login'})
});

router.post('/register', function(req, res, next) {
  var name = req.body.name;
  var email = req.body.email;
  var username = req.body.username;
  var password = req.body.password;
  var password2 = req.body.password2;

  if (req.files && req.files.profileimage) {
    console.log('Uploading file...');

    var profileimageOriginalName = req.files.profileimage.originalname;
    var profileimageName = req.files.profileimage.name;
    var profileimageMime = req.files.profileimage.mimetype;
    var profileimageExt = req.files.profileimage.extension;
    var profileimageSize = req.files.profileimage.size;
    var profileimagePath = req.files.profileimage.path;
  } else {
    var profileimageName = 'noimage.png'
  }

  req.checkBody('name', 'Name field is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('email', 'Email field is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('email', 'Email field is not valid').isEmail();
  req.checkBody('username', 'Username field is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('password', 'Password field is required').notEmpty();
  req.checkBody('password2', 'Password does not match').equals(req.body.password);
  var errors = req.validationErrors()

  if (errors) {
    res.render('register', {
      errors: errors,
      name: name,
      email: email,
      username: username,
      password: password,
      password2: password2
    });
  } else {
    var newUser = new User({
      name: name,
      email: email,
      username: username,
      password: password,
      profileimage: profileimageName
     })
  }

  User.createUser(newUser, function(err, user) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(user);
  })

  req.flash('sucess', 'You are now registered and may login');
  res.location('/');
  res.redirect('/');
})
module.exports = router;

      , root    = namespace.shift()
      , formParam = root;

    while(namespace.length) {
      formParam += '[' + namespace.shift() + ']';

  }
}));


app.use(flash())
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.locals.messages = require('express-messages')(req, res);
  next();
});

app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);

// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});

// error handlers

// development error handler
// will print stacktrace
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
  app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
    res.status(err.status || 500);
    res.render('error', {
      message: err.message,
      error: err
    });
  });
}

// production error handler
// no stacktraces leaked to user
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error', {
    message: err.message,
    error: {}
  });
});


module.exports = app;

UPDATE : If I remove the validator codes, the error will be gone, but the post request body still empty

Answer 1

You can not set the header after it has been sent to client.

res.render sends the sends the response when there is error. After that again you are trying to send the headers via res.location and res.redirect .

Move the res.redirect to the else block.

  var multer = require('multer');
  var upload = multer(); 
  router.post('/register', upload.array(), function(req, res, next) {
  var name = req.body.name;
  var email = req.body.email;
  .................. 
  if (errors) {
    res.render('register', {
     errors: errors,
     name: name,
     email: email,
     username: username,
     password: password,
     password2: password2
  });
  } else {
   var newUser = new User({
    name: name,
    email: email,
    username: username,
    password: password,
    profileimage: profileimageName
   })
  //now this is also in the else block
   User.createUser(newUser, function(err, user) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(user);
  })

  req.flash('sucess', 'You are now registered and may login');
  res.location('/');
  res.redirect('/');
  //till here so you don't send response twice
}


})

Answer 2

You are facing this because of :

req.flash('sucess', 'You are now registered and may login'); //this is okay
res.location('/'); //[1]
res.redirect('/'); //[2]

[1] you are setting headers and redirecting to '/' route .

[2] you are setting headers passing status code: 302 and redirecting to '/' route.

oh wait? didn't you already set headers in step 1? Yes that's what the error means. You can have only one response per request. Use this for more info.
