Session Issue about django-mongoengine HOT 5 CLOSED

If user accessing site without session key, new session is created.

I don't understand what the problem is.
Can you provide steps to reproduce?

from django-mongoengine.

OK, I find the issue in my two website projects. I use django-mongoengine as my session engine.

You can reproduce as the follows:

1. First (The most important!!!), confirm you access the site without session key.
2. Second. you can login your website with your name and password.
   The server side code is like this. It is easy to use django_maongoengine as session engine. If the session engine is correct, the session data will be save in the mongodb, but unlukily it is not. the account_id and username is missing.

I have traced the code,

I reproduce the above steps, then the console will output as follows. You can see it has saved the session_data twice, and the last one is incorrect.

I tried to reproduce your bug; Session indeed saved twice after login, but that is expected behavior; Django first created new session and then saves data after login.

This is tested with our example/tumblelog app and login to django-admin.

account_id or username is not used by auth system, it uses _auth_user_backend and _auth_user_id.

OK, I will make a simple reproduce steps.

Step.1 Create a test view

class Test(TemplateView):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        test_data = request.session.get('test', None)
        print 'test=%s' %test_data
        request.session['test'] = 'abc123'
        return  HttpResponse('ok')

Step.2 Confirm your session key is None

Step.3 Access the View twice.
Expected Result is:
the first time: test=None
the second time: test='abc123'
Actual Result is:
the first time: test=None
the second time: test=None
the third time: test='abc123'

Nice, with your test case i confirmed bug.
Looks like it was issue with session caching. Fixed it myself. (your proposed fix was inapropriate)
