req.flash not working with the res.redirect
I am somewhat new to the node and express world so please forgive any of my nobe mistakes, I have a couple of methods that are returning me 500 after I use something like this.
req.flash('success', 'your password has been successfully changed.');
res.redirect('/user-profile');
also I have tried sending status with it like
res.redirect(302,'/user-profile');
but it also didn't worked out
and when i try to reload the page it works fine (on the second attempt), however if I comment req.flash every things starts to work out just fine, seems like it's causing the issue while it works fine with other methods where I am using it like
req.flash('success', 'You are logged out');
res.redirect('/login');
Code in my index.js file
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const fs = require('fs');
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
const app = require('../app');
const User = require('../model/user');
const passport = require('passport');
let path = require('path');
router.get('/user-profile', (req,res,next) => {
res.render('profile',{
title: 'Profile'
});
});
router.get('/logout', (req,res,next) => {
req.logout();
req.flash('success', 'You are logged out');
res.redirect('/login');
});
Code in my app.js
// Express Messages Middleware
app.use(require('connect-flash')());
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.locals.messages = require('express-messages')(req, res);
next();
});
I have tried to find the solution online, but could not get it working. I am really finding it hard to debug any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're getting 500 errors, there should be errors being logged by the server.

The picture isn't very helpful. It looks like you're running your code in "production" mode, which also isn't very helpful because it obfuscates any errors that are occurring. Try adding a custom error handler (as explained here) that logs the error. Also, run your script in development mode (on Unix:NODE_ENV=development node yourserver.js). Also, forconnect-flashto work properly, you need to have sessions enabled. Is that the case?

Solved my error long time ago, in case anyone else is facing the same problem.Here is the answer to it. I had a duplicate of <%- messages() %> in my single ejs file which was causing the issue which eventually was crashing the app.
