Session object not present in AuthComponent

[burzum]

I'm trying to use the Auth component and get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function renew() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake3-test2\vendor\cakephp\cakephp\src\Controller\Component\AuthComponent.php on line 596

Looks like the issue is that AuthComponent::$session is set in the initialize() callback which is not set when AuthComponent is used by other components.

AuthComponent is being loaded on the fly here. You need to set the $session property too like you set $request and $response properties.

It would be even better if AuthComponent's constructor did the right thing for you, and built a usable object. I will look into making that happen.

[ADmad]

The components get request and response objects from controller instance which isn't available in it's constructor.

[ADmad]

My bad, actually it can get the controller using collection's getController()

Ok, that fixed the original problem, but something still seems to be wrong:

Probably a missing use statement.
