Object <#Session> has no method reset() when logging out

[PradatiusD]

Currently testing the stormpath module and found that every time I would log out I would receive this Object <#Session> has no method reset()

I checked my express-stormpath/lib/controllers.js and found this.

module.exports.logout = function(req, res) {
  if (req.session) {
    req.session.reset();
  }

  res.redirect('/');
};

I switched req.session.reset() to req.session.destroy() to fix this temporarily but I wanted to know what the root cause was. Let me know if there is any more info I can provide to help you.

Thanks!

My fault. The issue was caused by my own instance of express-session colliding with stormpath's. Closing this issue.

Excuse me, but how does one prevent one's instance of express-session from colliding with stormpath's? I think I'm having the same problem. Thanks for any advice!

This part of the docs should help to explain it, let me know if you still have questions:
