Hi all,
I am new to Rails. I want to test some things with sessions. But I
simply cannot make them work. I am using this in the environment.rb
file:
config.action_controller.session_store = :p_store
config.action_controller.session = {
:tmpdir => “#{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp/sessions/”,
:session_key => ‘_tests_session’,
:secret =>
‘f23e19a920da3ccb0a128f24d97a85e36618b7e6dc920167febe16f24ca89462d5bf83598d87d2d842c1fd273bb7df98b23ee6291c8fe6bfe8fdcf973929b645’
}
The file “ruby_sess.d38fcbeda549de99” is created in my “#{RAILS_ROOT}/
tmp/sessions/” directory.
In one controller I have the following code:
class SecController < ApplicationController
def sec
session[:greeting] = “Hello world!”
end
end
and in a View:
Session: <%= session[:greeting] %>
…but on the web page I only find “Session:” written. I opened the
session file and the “Hello World!” string was neither there.
If I create an application with InstantRails, everything works OK. I
see the strings that I pus in the session on the view page and in the
sesion file in the /tmp/sessions directory. I tried to compare the two
applications (the one I created the one created inside InstantRails
and modified by me to use the p_store). Except the versions, I saw no
other differences.
What am I missing? Is there a switch somewhere?
(I have the latest stable versions of ruby, gems and rails)
Thanks!
