CredentialValidationException is trhown after ugrading to 4.0.3

[Konstantin Smirnov]

I have code to check JWT:

    checkJwt( authorization ){ AsyncResult<User> ar ->
      if( ar ){
        rc.user = ar.result()
        rc.next()
        
      }else{
        log.warn "checkJwt failed: ${ar.cause()}"
      }

  void checkJwt( String authorization, Handler<AsyncResult<User>> handler ) {
     jwtAuth.authenticate( [ jwt:authorization.substring( 7 ) ] as JsonObject, handler )
  }

in 4.0.2 it ran just fine.

after updating to 4.0.3, the following exception started to appear:

checkJwt failed: io.vertx.ext.auth.authentication.CredentialValidationException: token cannot be null or empty

The String I'm trying to decode is defenitely not empty.

Any invisible breaking changes?

Hi, it could be that you're using the JSON API instead of the new type safe API, in that case your JSON may be using the wrong format:

I think the difference is that until 4.0.2 the json worked { "jwt" : "..." }, in 4.0.3 you need { "token" : "..."}

Those code changes make me sad. The code just broke after upgrade and had to be fixed manually.

If you want the API to react on "token", simply add "token" to "jwt". This way everything stays safe.
