Deploy Navbar Login Fix - Quick Checklist

🎯 What This Fixes

Problem: After logging in via Steam, the navbar doesn't update to show the logged-in state (avatar, username, balance).

Solution: WebSocket now triggers auth state refresh when connection is established.

🧪 Testing After Deployment

1. Clear Browser Cache

• Chrome/Edge: Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac)
• Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac)
• Or use Incognito/Private mode

2. Open Browser Console

Press F12 → Console tab

3. Clear All Site Data

In DevTools:

• Application tab → Clear storage → Clear site data

4. Test Login Flow

1. Click "Login to Steam" button
2. Complete Steam authentication
3. Watch console for these logs:

🔵 Auth store initialize called - isInitialized: false
🔵 fetchUser called - fetching user from /api/auth/me
✅ fetchUser response: { success: true, user: {...} }
✅ Setting user in auth store: { steamId: "...", ... }
🔵 fetchUser complete - isAuthenticated: true

Connecting to WebSocket: wss://api.turbotrades.dev/ws
WebSocket connected
🟢 WebSocket received 'connected' message: { ... }
🔵 Calling authStore.fetchUser() from WebSocket connected handler
🔵 fetchUser called - fetching user from /api/auth/me
✅ fetchUser response: { success: true, user: {...} }

5. Verify Navbar

Should now show:

• ✅ Your Steam avatar
• ✅ Your username
• ✅ Your balance with deposit button
• ✅ User dropdown menu (Profile, Inventory, etc.)

🔧 If It Doesn't Work

Common Issues

Navbar Still Not Updating

# 1. Hard refresh browser (clear all cache)
Ctrl + Shift + Delete → Clear all browsing data

# 2. Check if build was actually deployed
curl -I https://turbotrades.dev/assets/index-*.js

# 3. Check console for errors
# Look for CORS errors, 404s, or auth failures

WebSocket Not Connecting

# Check Nginx config has WebSocket proxy
sudo cat /etc/nginx/sites-available/turbotrades-api

# Should have:
location /ws {
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/ws;
}

# Reload Nginx if changed
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Backend Issues

# Check backend is running
pm2 status

# Check logs
pm2 logs turbotrades-backend --lines 50

# Restart if needed
pm2 restart turbotrades-backend

---

📊 Verification Script

Run this to check everything is ready:

node scripts/verify-login-fix.cjs

Expected output:

✅ WebSocket store has the navbar login fix
✅ Frontend build exists and looks valid
✅ API Health Endpoint: Reachable
✅ WebSocket: Connection successful
All checks passed! ✨

---

🔄 Rollback (If Needed)

# Revert commits
git revert HEAD~2..HEAD
git push origin main

# Rebuild and redeploy
cd frontend
npm run build
sudo cp -r dist/* /var/www/html/turbotrades/

---

📝 Files Changed

• frontend/src/stores/websocket.js - Added authStore.fetchUser() call on WebSocket connected
• frontend/src/stores/auth.js - Added debug logging for troubleshooting

---

🎓 How It Works

1. User logs in → Steam OAuth → Backend sets session cookie
2. Frontend loads → App.vue calls authStore.initialize()
3. WebSocket connects → Server sends { type: "connected", data: {...} }
4. NEW: WebSocket handler calls authStore.fetchUser()
5. Auth store updates → isAuthenticated = true
6. Navbar reactively updates → Shows logged-in UI

---

✨ Success Criteria

• Source code has the fix
• Frontend build is recent
• API endpoints reachable
• WebSocket connection works
• User can login and see navbar update

Status: Ready to Deploy
Build Date: 2025-01-10
Estimated Deploy Time: 5 minutes
Risk Level: Low (only frontend changes)
