.then() javascript not working

Question

I'm trying to sign in using the Skype web SDK. I took code for signing in from some tutorials. Here is the code:

$('#signin').click(function () {
        $('#signin').hide();
        log('Signing in...');
        //debugger;
        // and invoke its asynchronous "signIn" method
        client.signInManager.signIn({
            username: 'ridaiftikhar@hotmail.com',
            password: 'sdfafa2'
        }).then(function () {
            //log in worked!
            alert('Signed in');
            $('#loginbox').hide();
            $('#chatfunctions').show();
        }, function (error) {
            //Something went wrong.
            alert(error);
        });
});

My problem is that the first function in then is not working. If I give an illegal username it will show me the error message, but it never shows the "Signed In" alert even when I provide the correct credentials.

From your code snippet I see you are using a Hotmail account to sign in. The sign-in code you are trying to execute is that of the Skype Web SDK which targets Skype for Business (not Skype consumer). Please use a valid Skype for Business account in order to sign in. One other thing to note: If you are using username+password based auth then your organization that has a Skype for Business deployment must support username+password based auth. If not, sign-in will fail.
