[WIP][HttpFoundation][Session] Fixed detection of an active session #4541

dlsniper · 2012-06-09T19:59:06Z

Bug fix: yes
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: not sure
Symfony2 tests pass: no
Fixes the following tickets: #4529
Todo: Fix failing tests
License of the code: MIT
Documentation PR: ~

This fixes the problem when the session variable inside $request now has always data in it as it's now more powerful but this introduces the problem that the old way of detecting if a session is started or not doesn't work anymore.

Sessions should be started implicitly. The SF auto_start config parameter controls the session listener to start the session.

dlsniper · 2012-06-11T06:46:02Z

So this patch is correct then and I should continue the work on it?

ghost · 2012-06-11T07:51:39Z

@dlsniper - no it's not correct. The session should not be auto-started like this, @fabpot and I recently discussed it.

dlsniper · 2012-06-11T07:52:55Z

@Drak, ok I'll remove the patch for auto_start then but the fix for start would still stand, right?

Seems Travis doesn't like the squashing of commits that I've did but the PR does pass the normal tests.
@Drak is this good for merging now?

Thanks :)

@fabpot this can be merged safely, I've just applied the patch on my production application and the patch is ok, it's just travis failing.

Thanks

It's possible that other tests are failing not related to this PR. Run the tests on the current master, and try rebasing your branch to the current master also.

dlsniper · 2012-06-13T15:44:22Z

I've just reminded why this is failing on builds, I can't do them locally because of this:

Installing dev dependencies
Your requirements could not be solved to an installable set of packages.

        Problems:
                - Problem caused by:
                        - Installation request for doctrine/orm [>= 2.2.0.0, < 2.4.0.0-dev]: Satisfiable by [doctrine/orm-2.2.2, doctrine/orm-2.2.1, doctrine/orm-2.2.0, doctrine/orm-2.2.x-dev, doctrine/orm-2.3.x-dev].

I'll try and install this somehow and see what's wrong with it.

mvrhov · 2012-06-13T18:08:58Z

@dlsniper: as @stof said to me this should be resolved in latest versions of composer, but it seems that is not. The problem is that composer cannot figure out that you are on dev-master if you try to instal dev. dependencies on feature branch. Take a look at the .travis.yml file on how to do a proper dev vendors install.

dlsniper · 2012-06-13T23:08:53Z

@mvrhov Thanks for pointing this out.

@Drak I still got two tests not passing but I'm not sure how to fix them as adding $session->start() will either fail with the message that the session has already been started, the headers_sent() call which returns true. Any help with them will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here is what the HttpKernel tests are returning:

There were 2 failures:

1) Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Tests\EventListener\LocaleListenerTest::testDefaultLocaleWithSession

@stof / @vicb Hi, do either of you think that you can either point me out to the right direction for fixing this either ping someone else for home help as @Drak doesn't seem available for this and at the moment I'm pretty much clueless in what direction I should take this fix.

Thanks!

This is wrong. The hasSession() must return true when a request is associated with a session, that's all. The fact that the session is started or not is not the same thing.

To clarify the meaning for discussions elsewhere: hasSession() means does this have a session object. Its not a reflection of the state of the session object.

@fabpot - why did you merge this particular commit if you also disagree with the above diff?

because I reverted this part in another commit.

fabpot · 2012-07-01T07:53:28Z

I'm +1 to add the isStarted() method, but -1 for the change of Request::hasSession.

ghost · 2012-07-01T09:06:15Z

@fabpot, I agree. hasSession() should not be changed, it's semantically incorrect to make it return effectively "hasActiveSession".

dlsniper · 2012-11-19T11:55:45Z

@fabpot Since you revered the change in the hasSession() method and there's no isStarted() method, how should we fix this issue?

I say again, since the refactoring @Drak did, the session object is now always present so if in 2.0.X the code was properly reporting if the user has a session active or not and now it always reports true, I'm not sure what needs to be node not to affect the function and keep the functionality as well.

Thanks!
