what is your file permission on storage directory?
Session issue
Hi,
I have a very weir behaviour with my fresh L5.1 install.
On a test route /test I have the following:
// No user authenticated
dump(\Auth::check()); // false
// Fetch a User
$user = \App\User::first();
// User
dump($user->toArray());
// Still no authenticated User (expected)
dump(\Auth::check()); // false
// Log User in
\Auth::login($user);
// Check if User is logged in
dump(\Auth::check()); // true
// Debug
dump(\Session::all());
// Debug
dump(\Request::cookie('laravel_session'));
So this will fetch the User, this will log the User and this will output the following:
false
array:5 [
"id" => "2"
"name" => "XX XX"
"email" => "xx@xx.com"
"created_at" => "2015-06-27 18:42:02"
"updated_at" => "2015-06-28 10:52:38"
]
false
true
array:4 [▼
"_token" => "miFxISw21eNXBxh2GkxmGc8aNZHDBDpoONPCTVch"
"_previous" => array:1 [▶]
"flash" => array:2 [▶]
"login_82e5d2c56bdd0811318f0cf078b78bfc" => "2"
]
"cc51a357d70075cb1ea159747cbef7bbd1a01964"
NOW I try to reload the exact same page BUT I comment out the everything except:
// Debug
dump(\Session::all());
// Debug
dump(\Request::cookie('laravel_session'));
Here is the output:
array:1 [▼
"_token" => "erHWVBpba7uM058PZsx4VKMQAWHaytYeormUZGZG"
]
"cc51a357d70075cb1ea159747cbef7bbd1a01964"
No User in session! ...
My env('SESSION_DRIVER') is set to file.
Any idea?
I found.
When using \Auth::attempt() and \Auth::login() we NEED to return a redirect(). This is only after that redirect the session will be stored. I can now access the authenticated user with \Auth::user() and/or test it with \Auth::check().
