Why is Auth is failing to recognize users?

[doxr]

My code is sending the index file to both blacklisted and whitelisted people. It just kinda gives everybody index.html without checking. It’s not a problem with the code, I checked with Phind (GPT-4) and by myself.

Here is the code:

const users = ['not-ethan', 'doxr'];
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  const user = getUserInfo(req);
if (users.includes(user.name)) {
  console.log(`Serving 403.html to user: ${user}`);
  res.sendFile('/403.html', { root: path.join(__dirname, './') });
} else {
  console.log(`Serving index.html to user: ${user}`);
  res.sendFile('/index.html', { root: path.join(__dirname, './') });
}
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log(`Port 3000`));

Weirdly, this still sends me to index.html. If anyone knows what the error is then please post. The code is probably the problem but I don’t know.

Made a repl if you want to check it out.

It’s doing that because of this line:

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/')));

Which makes it automatically render index.html at /
