Security Session vanishes when NodeJS server reloads

Wappler General How To
#1

Edit: Solved by enabling Redis as response below :slight_smile:

Wappler Version : 4.4.4
Operating System : MacOS Big Sur
Server Model: NodeJS 16
Database Type: MariaDB 10.5
Hosting Type: Docker

Expected behavior

Security Session is intact after you save a page in Wappler

Actual behavior

When you modify a page in Wappler and hit CMD+S to save it, the NodeJS server restarts. The restart causes the Security Session to vanish, making me login again. This is very annoying as I’m developing a user dashboard and I constantly have to login again.

How to reproduce

Open a NodeJS project containing login functionality, login, edit the page and save. After refresh, you will see you’re not logged in anymore.

#2

You need redis installed for the sessions to be saved:

If you are not using the local dev server, I believe you turn redis on in the docker target settings.
