Failing to retrieve user after passport authentication

If authentication succeeds, then the user is redirected to the "/profile" route, as the following code indicates.

app.get(
        "/auth/google/callback",
        passport.authenticate("google", { successRedirect: "/profile", failureRedirect: "/failure" })
)

The route for the profile page looks like this.

app.get("/profile", function(req, res) {

    console.log("Attempting to render profile")
    console.log("USER: " + req.user)

    res.render("profile.jade", {
        user: req.user
    })
})

In the console, when running the program I see "Attempting to render profile" and then it shows the user object but then in the browser, it seems as if it loads eternally. It gets stuck on the res.render("profile.jade", ... etc.

If I close the page loading, right after I close it the console says "GET /profile - - ms - -"

My passport configuration file, using Google Oauth2 and MySQL looks like this. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6265a7779154a087b833

So, the fix was to pass the correct variable to the jade template
