Jamis Buck and I had a few ideas tonight that would each take care
of the CgiRequest bug where switching between Rails apps that have
different classes (models) stored in the session causes the whole
app to crash without a trace. Of course, the problem is only
present when using the FileStore to store session data, since if
the sessions are being stored in the DB, there shouldn't be any
conflict between apps.
The rubysess. file prefix and cookie names are configurable so the
app generator may:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
session :prefix => '<%= @app_name %>.', :session_key => '<%=
@app_name %>'
end
True. However, if a controller does not extend ApplicationController
(and it happens--Basecamp has one of these) then it doesn't get that
functionality. I think Duane's suggestion of a tmp/ directory under
RAILS_ROOT has some real merit. It does add one more directory to the
app structure, but it gives us a good place to store those transient
files (like sockets, and session files). It also gives us a way to
prevent the white-screen-of-death without requiring existing apps to
make any changes.
It could even be made such that the tmp/ directory is created on-
demand, rather than auto-generated, which would reduce the perceived
clutter when an app is first generated. (It would actually have to be
created on-demand for existing apps to work with this solution.)
