Session not saving in Elixir Phoenix












0















I'm making a signin controller.



I set the session as such:



conn = put_session(conn, :user_id, user.id)
IEx.pry
redirect conn, to: account_path(conn, :show)


It looks set as on the pry line when I print the conn I get



...
:plug_session => %{"user_id" => 6}, :plug_session_fetch => :done,
...


Then in the next controller which we redirect to we get



get_session(conn, :user_id) => nil


The 302 from the signin controller seems to set a session cookie as the response includes



set-cookie:_rebirth_key=g3QAAAABbQAAAAd1c2VyX2lkYQY=--KJ9iow5QUIqw1ggyPla--EGp-dY=; path=/; HttpOnly


How do I make the session persist?



Thanks!

          I am not sure but I think fetch_session might not be the right function to get the value from the session. Try



          get_session(conn, :user_id)


          instead.

          • To elaborate. put_session adds a specified value for a key, get_session will return that value by its key. Source: get_session docs. fetch_session fetches session from the session store or cookie.

          To people who might run into the same problem I did; make sure you're not calling configure_session(drop: true) unless you really want to.



          If, in an attempt to enforce a fresh session (like if a user just logged in) and you call conn |> configure_session(drop: true) |> clear_session |> put_session(:key, value), your session will be empty.
