Router.go() after Meteor.loginWithFacebook()

help
1

This is a very basic question that, for whatever reason, I cannot figure out why this will not work.

I have iron router installed and a template called “chat”.

Template.login.events({
 'click a.facebookLogin' : function(event){
  event.preventDefault();

   Meteor.loginWithFacebook({
       requestPermissions: ['email', 'public_profile', 'user_friends']
   }, function(error){
       if (error)
           console.log(error);
       else
           Router.go('/chat');
   });
 }

});

I get redirected to the Facebook login page and can login and collect data. However,I am not redirected to my chat template after I login.

I can visit localhost/3000/chat and my template is present there. I essentially copied the exact formatting from the documentation.

Sorry for such an easy question – but I am at a loss.

Thanks!

As per the docs here (http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/meteor_loginwithexternalservice) -
Called with no arguments on success, or with a single Error argument on failure. The callback cannot be called if you are using the “redirect” loginStyle, because the app will have reloaded in the meantime; try using client-side login hooks instead.

So, using this callback is the way to go - http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/accounts_onlogin

This works for me - I am setting the redirectUrl in the client side call.

ServiceConfiguration.configurations.upsert({
    service: 'facebook'
}, {
    $set: {
        appId: '***************',
        secret: '************************************',
        loginStyle: 'redirect'
    }
});

Template.signUp.events({
    'click [data-action=login]' (e, tmpl) {
        e.preventDefault();
        Meteor.loginWithFacebook({
            requestPermissions: ['email', 'public_profile', 'user_friends'],
            redirectUrl: "/"
        });
    },
});
