As expected, every time the problem appears (that is, I submit a form and
get challenged to login again), there's an additional/new session file in
the session dir. The only usages of 'session' are reading/writing, such as
session.meetInfo.currAssgmts = False
attachments = session.meetInfo.attachments
Would a redirect in my controller be doing anything to reset the session?
Here's my controller that's involved. Note the call to setupMeetInSession.
I'm assuming (uh-oh) that this isn't recreating a session:
@auth.requires_login()
def send_info():
setupMeetInSession()
if request.post_vars.sendBtn:
attachments = session.meetInfo.attachments
recipients = request.post_vars.recips.split(',')
mailResult = mail.send(recipients,
subject = request.post_vars.subject,
message = request.post_vars.message,
attachments = attachments
,cc = ['[email protected]',
'[email protected]']
)
if mailResult:
session.flash = 'Email(s) sent'
if request.args(0) == 'Meet':
url = 'all_meets'
elif request.args(0) == 'Team':
url = 'all_teams'
elif request.args(0) == 'Person_certification':
url = 'all_officials'
elif request.args(0) == 'Official':
url = 'all_officials'
else:
url = 'index'
redirect(URL(url))
else:
response.flash = 'Error sending mail'
else:
if request.args(0) == 'Meet':
retVals = send_info_meet()
elif request.args(0) == 'Team':
retVals = send_info_team()
elif request.args(0) == 'Official':
retVals = send_info_official()
else:
print '******** Got bogus args(0): ' + request.args(0)
redirect(URL('index'))
session.meetInfo.attachments = retVals.attachments
form = FORM(
FIELDSET('Subject: ',
INPUT(_name='subject', value=retVals.subject)),
FIELDSET('Recipients: ',
INPUT(_name='recips',
value=','.join(retVals.recipients))),
FIELDSET('Message: ',
TEXTAREA(_name='message', value=retVals.message)),
INPUT(_type='submit', _value='send', _name='sendBtn'),
INPUT(_type='submit', _value='cancel', _name='cancelBtn')
,FIELDSET('debug', TEXTAREA(value='retVals len: %d; sess len: %d'
% (len(retVals.attachments), len(session.meetInfo.attachments))))
)
return dict(form=form)
def setupMeetInSession():
session.meetInfo = session.meetInfo or Storage()
return
The view is simple:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{"""
Send meet information
"""}}
<h2>{{=' '.join(x.capitalize() for x in request.function.split('_'))}}</h2>
{{=form}}
{{if request.is_local:}}
{{=response.toolbar()}}
{{pass}}
???
Thanks in advance.
