cordova-plugin-googleplus + passport-google-id-token

[publicbar]

Hi,
I've got client (cordova plugin) logging in ok and getting the idtoken on android device.
I then post this to my server (localhost). (req.body.id_token) I get no errors:
I tried another plugin that verifies the idtoken and that works.

Code:

passport.use(new GoogleTokenStrategy({
clientID: '123433.apps.googleusercontent.com',
getGoogleCerts: null
},
function(parsedToken, googleId, done) {
console.log(parsedToken); <--------- Never gets here
User.findOrCreate({ googleId: googleId }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));

router.post('/auth/google', function(req, res, next){
verifier.verify(req.body.id_token, '1234.apps.googleusercontent.com', function (err, tokenInfo) {
if (!err) {
// use tokenInfo in here.
console.log(tokenInfo); <--gets here OK
}
});
passport.authenticate('google-id-token', function(req, res){
res.send(req.user? 200 : 401); <-- never gets here.
});
});

I stepped into passport/lib/authenticate.js line 81
and code never enters the function below.
return function authenticate(req, res, next) {

I believe I'm overlooking something obvious but its taking me a very long time to find out what.
Any clues appreciated!
Thanks

No sooner I posted this I found I needed to do this:

passport.authenticate('google-id-token', function(req, res){
res.send(req.user? 200 : 401);

})(req,res,next); <-- HERE
