flash and redirects

[Sebastian]

Hi.

Short question: Why are flashs (?) only surviving one page request?
Why isn't it only swept, when accessed? I searched pretty long for a
bug, which actually wasn't one. Flash messages were not displayed.
Reason: There is (was) a redirect in-between.

I would prefer longer living flashs ;) .

Greetings

I think Flashes were designed just like in the Rails - they are, essentially, session parameters which survive only one request.

That makes a lot of sense from the perspective of separating producing Flashes and consuming them (you can't be sure that Flash will ever be consumed, so if you keep a Flash until it is consumed, you may end up with a situation where you, for example, display an incorrect message).

If you need long-lasting Flashes you can use sessions.

Ok, makes sense. Thanks.
