Rails 2.3.2 and lazy sessions issue

Reported by sh | April 27th, 2009 @ 07:06 PM | in 3.x

fresh rails 2.3.2 app configured with db session store

controller code:


    @foo = nil
    if session.nil?
      @foo = "foo"
    else
      @foo = session[:foo]
    end

This creates an entry in the sessions table. This seems counter-intuitive and I'd expect to have a session created only when data is added to the session. Checking for sessions should not cause new sessions to be created.

And, I'd really love to have "sessions :off" per controller back :)

ignore the above. the only code that is relevant is this:

environment.rb:


  config.action_controller.session = {
    :key => '_sessions_test',
    :secret      => 'whatever'
  }
  config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store

controller:


def index
  logger.debug session.size
end

every request creates an entry in the sessions table....?
