unable to use get() method

[hatrena]

When i use $session->set() and $session->get() immediately after it, everything works properly. but after that in the same page (Middleware), when i comment out $session->set(), $session->get() does give me nothing:

$session = $request->getAttribute(\PSR7Session\Http\SessionMiddleware::SESSION_ATTRIBUTE);
//$session->set('user', 'Saeed');
echo $session->get('user');

Did your cookies get transmitted at all? What is the cookie like? Can you try checking its contents?

[hatrena]

is there any specific variable that i need to look for in COOKIE? i have PHPSESSID

[Ocramius]

This lib doesn't use PHPSESSID: it has its own cookie called 'slsession'

[hatrena]

The Cookie does not have slsession? any workaround to fix?

[Ocramius]

Did you try any of the examples first?

[hatrena]

yes, i have the same problem

[Ocramius]

The counter example won't work either? Wondering if you can share how you have set it up...

[hatrena]

I am using Zend Expressive and pipe it via SessionMiddleware:

'middleware_pipeline' => [
            'pre_routing' => [
                'middleware' => [
                    ServerUrlMiddleware::class,
                    QueryStringMiddleware::class,
                ],
                'priority' => PHP_INT_MAX,
            ],
            'routing' => [
                'middleware' => [
                    ApplicationFactory::ROUTING_MIDDLEWARE,
                    UrlHelperMiddleware::class,
                    SessionMiddleware::class,
                    ApplicationFactory::DISPATCH_MIDDLEWARE,
                ],
                'priority' => 1,
            ],
        ]

and in `SessionMiddleware i have:
return SessionMiddleware::fromSymmetricKeyDefaults(
'MyKey',
1200
);

Please try out the examples in this project first, and ensure that the
counter example works (you just need to run it, no coding needed)

[hatrena]

I have tested the counter, it shows 1 all the time, when i refresh the page

[Ocramius]

Try:

mkdir tst
cd tst
git clone git@github.com:Ocramius/PSR7Session.git
cd PSR7Session
composer install
php -S localhost:8080 examples/index.php

Now browse to http://localhost:8080 and you should see a counter increment at each page load

[hatrena]

I have slsession variable in my cookie, but it returns me true for isEmpty()

[Ocramius]

@hatrena did the example above work, first of all? I'm trying to understand if this is an environment issue or an integration issue.

[hatrena]

The example did not work, but i added those 2 extra libraries in the composer.json and created the SessionMiddleware in the way explained in the example. this way worked!. thanks

[Ocramius]

The fact that the examples won't work bothers me. Do the unit tests pass?

[hatrena]

I have added it to the unit test, assertion process failed since it could not get content from parsed token.

[Ocramius]

Which test failed?

[hatrena]

I ran a middleware test with mocking the request to get the attribute SessionMiddleware::SESSION_ATTRIBUTE

[Ocramius]

I'm asking about the tests provided with this package :-)

[hatrena]

That test passed!

[mikemix]

Well I had same problem too. Turned out it won't work while I use it over HTTP on my dev server and not HTTPS. The slsession cookie has secure flag set so it did not get transmitted to the server.

[Ocramius]

That is intentional: do not use this sort of cookies without TLS.

[mikemix]

Yeah it would be nice though to disable this while in dev mode ;)
Anyway maybe @hatrena has same problem?

In the README you said:
Then try accessing http://localhost:9999: you should see a counter that increases at every page refresh

clearly it won't work that way.

[Ocramius]

See the example dir on how to do that: works without https

[mikemix]

thx @Ocramius great work by the way!

Closing since the issue was the "secure" flag (which is mentioned on documentation).
