Sessions broken

[wyqydsyq]

Following the guide at: https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/wiki/Guide:-Login-Example

It seems that session data is not persisting between requests, I've tried storing in memory and disk, but either way data I store in the session does not persist.

I have console.log(req.session) in my authenticated policy, as well as console.log(req.session) in my login controller after setting the session variables (req.session.authenticated = true; and req.session.user = user;).

The first log shows no auth variable or user data as expected, the call after authenticating does, as expected, but when I load a page it's expected that the first log will now contain the data that was set, it doesn't, the session data is reset completely.

Was this actually broken?

Nope, user error, I misunderstood the store property of the session configuration object - I thought it was to specify which adapter to use for session storage, removing it from my config made sessions work.

What is actually meant to be used for the store property? The docs say nothing other than it needs to be an object, nothing on what that object should contain.
