How do I clear the rails session so I can start with a fresh slate? I know I could just nullify each of the session variables with session[:my_var] = nil
, but is there a rake task or something that knows how to restore the session data to its most basic form?
I'm using Spree and it stores a few properties in the session that I would like to clear out to see what's going on in the background, such as order_id
, order_token
, user_credentials_id
, etc.
I'm using SQLite3
To clear the whole thing use the reset_session method in a controller. Resets the session by clearing out all the objects stored within and initializing a new session object. Good luck!
The session is only available in the controller and the view and can use one of a number of different storage mechanisms: ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore - Stores everything on the client. ActionDispatch::Session::CacheStore - Stores the data in the Rails cache.
Rails uses ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore as the default session storage. Learn more about other session storages in Action Controller Overview Guide. Rails CookieStore saves the session hash in a cookie on the client-side.
rake db:sessions:clear
Check your session_store in your environment.rb file. You can use the "db:sessions:clear" only if it says active_record. In this case you are dumping your session in db.
Otherwise just clear your browser cookies.
