I am trying to make use of session data in my application and for some reason I don't have something setup right.
The code:
session[:key] = some_value Generates the following error:
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[] Other controllers don't have an issue with the session, so I am guessing I missed some basic configuration thing somewhere.
Ok, I think I got it figured out now. I had a slightly more complex situation that my example. I actually had the following:
session[:chat_history][chat.from.id] ||= [] So I had an error with double array. I added the following:
session[:chat_history] ||= [] Problem was the first time I did this, I put it in a before_filter method. Apparently the session object is nil in the before_filter method, at least the way I have my application setup.
So I moved the initializer to the methods that actually access the session and life is good again.
It looks like the session variable is nil which makes me think the framework couldn't set it for one of these reasons:
It was stated that some controllers work. Did something have the opportunity to create a session for the user before those controllers ran?
