.extensions() method not found in HttpRequest

[mohd109]

Hi everyone,
first of all thanks for such a good library
I have a problem regarding the extensions() method which is not found in the HttpRequest

Expected Behavior

Request.extensions should work just like in the examples

Current Behavior

but it's not found in the httprequest

Identity::login(&request.extensions(), user._id.to_owned().to_string()).unwrap();
                         ^^^^^^^^^^ method not found in HttpRequest

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

I just updated to the last version and used actix-identity example for redis storage. Everything is ok. Just the extensions method is not found in the compile time.

Your Environment

both in Ubuntu 22 and windows server 2022
vscode

• Rust Version (1.74`):
• Actix Web Version:

actix-web = { version = "4.4.0", features = ["openssl"] }
actix-session = { version = "0.8.0", features = ["redis-rs-session","redis-actor-session"] }
actix-redis = "0.13.0"
actix-identity = "0.6.0"

.extensions() is part of the HttpMessage trait, you need to use it.

+ use actix_web::HttpMessage;

Yeah I know, but in the examples it's from httprequest. Do we have any examples of httpmessage for identity::login?

I assume you mean this line: https://github.com/actix/examples/blob/1b43dde946ea78a94aab98555a30f62bb506bdcf/auth/simple-auth-server/src/auth_handler.rs#L56

Yes, that is coming from the HttpMessage implementation on HttpRequest. You just need to add the use line I showed above. (See it being used on line 5 of that same file here.)
