What does this mean?

No matching function [AUTH] found

try{
			auth.authenticate( auth().user().getEmail(), rc.password );
		} catch ( InvalidCredentials e ) {
			flash.put( "changepassword_form_errors", { "Change Password" : "Incorrect credentials" } );
			redirectBack();
		}

Presumably just what it says - you are calling

auth()

as a built-in function, which it isn't

I'm injecting auth as a dependency though

property name="auth" inject="AuthenticationService@cbauth";

then call

auth

not

auth()

^^^ yeah you're using it correctly as an object in the outer function, it's the inner

auth()

that's the problem

Sorry i'm new, why did i have to use it that way in my template but, not here?

with cbsecurity, a helper

auth()

is provided in views to access the auth module

Ah that makes sense thanks. I'll let you know how it went

print?

to print stuff for debugging purposes:

print("We authenticated successfully");

for coldfusion we use

writeoutput

or

writedump

for complex data

Where does writeOutput go to?

it outputs to the webpage

Trying to see if something is happening or not

can you give a code snippet of what your trying to debug?

Basically I am trying to create a form for the user to change his password. Here is a sniplet of the handler code:

try{
			auth.authenticate( email, rc.password );
			writeOutput("Ok");
            var user = getInstance( "User" ).update( { "password" : rc.newpassword } );
            writeOutput("Password Changed")
            auth.logout();
		    relocate( uri = "/" );
		} catch ( InvalidCredentials e ) {
			flash.put( "changepassword_form_errors", { "Change Password" : "Incorrect current password" } );
			redirectBack();
		}

ah, so you have a handler that is relocating after it writes to the page. try adding an

writeOutput("Password Changed");abort;

to see the message

Ok i managed to test what happens if the user enters the wrong current password. Issue now is why this line isn't firing:

flash.put( "changepassword_form_errors", { "Change Password" : "Incorrect current password" } );

in a handler or model, you need to inject the auth module so that you can access it

Scott, you can also use auth() in handlers. There’s a difference between view helpers and global application helpers This function is registered as a global application helper, which means it will be available inside views, layouts AND handlers.
