For some reason, session variables are not being set in my app. I am using Sinatra 1.2.1.
Here is a piece of code:
module GitWiki
class App < Sinatra::Base
configure do
enable :sessions
set :app_file, __FILE__
set :root, File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..'))
set :auth do |bool|
condition do
redirect '/login' unless logged_in?
end
end
end
helpers do
def logged_in?
not @user.nil?
end
end
error PageNotFound do
page = request.env["sinatra.error"].name
redirect "/#{page}/edit"
end
before do
content_type "text/html", :charset => "utf-8"
@user = session[:user]
end
get "/login/?" do
erb :login
end
post "/login" do
user = User.get
if user.authenticate(params[:username], params[:password])
session[:user] = params[:username]
p session # => {:user=>"root"}
else
# AZIZ! LIGHT!
end
redirect '/'
end
get "/" do
p session # => {}
redirect "/" + GitWiki.homepage
end
# ...
end
end
As you can see, session[:user]
is not being set, or rather the session hash is being reset after each request. Does anybody know what is going on please?
If you're using Shotgun, add the following line to the configure block:
set :session_secret, "My session secret"
To quote from rkh, Sinatra's current maintainer:
[Shotgun] will restart the server on every request, thereby regenerate the session secret and thus invalidate your sessions. This has been fixed in current master. Simple fix: set the session_secret option.
NOTE: This fix doesn't work if you use Rack::Session::Pool
