I've tried setting my own cookie with Dancer2 and also setting the session engine as Cookie. ... Although I couldn't find a lot on the Dancer2 method, there is a bit on how to do this with Dancer1.
I have this in my config.yml (thanks Andrew for the help with this): template: "template_toolkit" session: Cookie engines: template: template_toolkit: start_tag: '<%' end_tag: '%>' session: Cookie: secret_key: mykey default_duration: 60480064
However when the session is created, as per this image below, the session expiry is still 'session' instead of the time I set, which should be roughly.
I've not used Dancer2::Session::Cookie, but I know the following works for the YAML session engine. Therefore, it might be worth trying the generic cookie_duration parameter instead: engines: session: YAML: session_dir: "/tmp/dancer-sessions" cookie_duration: 3600
I've had a look at the cookie tests but I still can't figure out how to work with cookies properly in Dancer2. The date I set should set the session cookie to around 2130. I've also tried lower times with no effect.
To set a cookie: cookie MYCOOKIE => 'value', expires => '+2h', domain => $cookie_domain; (I guess the domain is optional - I've just copied that from existing code) To get a cookie: my $code = cookie 'MYCOOKIE' Regards, Andy
