Session handling, different session ID returned with each request

[Fr0stbite]

Hi there! I am relatively new to node/express, and am in the process
of trying to implement sessions.

I copied an pasted both examples in the session examples directory
(with the exception of changing the "cookieDecoder" to "cookieParser"
on line 17 of the redis example and am getting the same result I
receive in my own code. It appears that the session is being
regenerated with every request of the page, i.e. the examples only
show 1 page view repeatedly.

I guess the main question is, did something change in session
implementation since the release of the documentation that I am
missing?

I'm also have this same issue. Were you able to solve this problem ?

Try running the examples directly without copy/pasting them (for example: cd node_modules/express/examples/session; node app.js) and, if that doesn't work either, post the resulting error(s).

The examples do work, so that is good!

My issue had to do with several things - namely mixing up the res and
req variables within a callback. Sessions are now working for me.
Thanks for the direction on Express examples! These are not included
within the npm install so I missed them.

Many thanks!

ah, yeah they are in .npmignore so it doesn't bloat the repo to much in the registry

Mphh... there aren't *that* many examples you know... ;-)

haha :p but no point including those / tests etc in the package really. I'd like to have the new site pull in the examples from github dynamically so they can be viewed from the site with annotations or something, so people actually notice them

Agreed, that'd be ideal; more people read the documentation than dig around in the installed package directory ;-) How is the site (going to be) built? It looks like what's in the gh-pages branch now is a static snapshot...
