Sessions are being saved to the datastore even if they are not permanant about flask-session HOT 5 CLOSED

I have the same problem. It seems that adding 'session.permanent = False' before setting sessions will work.

I also have this issue.

Is the Flash_Session Extension still actively maintained?

from flask-session.

It is now been transferred to pallets and maintained. @marcuspen I know this is old but can you confirm with me if your intention was to use permanent client-side and non-permanent server-sessions in the same application? That is not previously something I had considered nor thought possible.

I have so far intended to make all permanent and non-permanent sessions save to datastore AND use the expiry of PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME. This was previously inconsistently implemented by the original author and I had taken that to be the intent.

Without saving to datastore the only place you could keep session data is client side, which Flask-Session cannot do and so makes me wonder about what the use case is. A reproduction would be great.

In the PR for #212 I have also included documentation on this. However, before I merge I would like to know more

from flask-session.

Perhaps the intent was to simply prevent the empty sessions from being saved to storage, that would make sense to me given this was considered a previous bug and fixed.

Closing due to lack of activity and high likelihood this is already fixed. There is a section on 0.7.0 docs relating to permanent sessions.
