Session value not preserved or not working in dotnetcore webapi

Below is my code from startup.cs,



public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services){  
services.AddMvc().AddJsonOptions(options =>{
options.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = new DefaultContractResolver();
});

services.AddDistributedMemoryCache();

services.AddSession(options => {
// Set a short timeout for easy testing.
options.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(36000);
options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
});

services.AddCors(options => {
options.AddPolicy("CorsPolicy",
builder => builder.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowCredentials());
});
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env{
if (env.IsDevelopment()){
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}

app.UseStaticFiles();

//app.UseCors("CorsPolicy");
// global cors policy
app.UseCors(x => x
.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowCredentials());

app.UseSession();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseMvc();
}


Below is the code to set and get userid in session:



HttpContext.Session.SetInt32("UserId", user.Id);
int userId = (int)HttpContext.Session.GetInt32("UserId");


I am getting below exception while reading session in a different action from the action where it is set. Any reason why session is not working?

  • If I get you right. You are setting HttpContext.Session.SetInt32("UserId", user.Id); in method A, and then method A is calling the method B where you try to use HttpContext.Session.SetInt32("UserId", user.Id); ?

  • No Sebastian. If it is the same action then I don't need session itself right. Session we need for maintaining state between different HTTP requests. I am Setting session in the different controller action and getting it in a different controller action.
