Sailsjs session error

Question

Keep getting this warning & error when I lift my app and can't figure it out. Hoping someone has an idea about this:

warn: Socket disconnected, but session could not be loaded to pass to configured disconnect handler: sails.config.sockets.onDisconnect(). Will pass a fake, empty session as argument to lifecycle callback. Details: Error: Session could not be loaded at _createError (/Users/JAT/Dropbox/Bottage/bottage_app/node_modules/sails/lib/hooks/session/index.js:271:21) at Immediate._onImmediate (/Users/JAT/Dropbox/Bottage/bottage_app/node_modules/sails/lib/hooks/session/index.js:274:13) at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:358:17) { [Error: Session could not be loaded] code: 'E_SESSION' }

wZVanG Edit: The problem is already fixed, however I wonder if I have the correct configuration:

sailsrc (I removed the models from Sails created by default because I just use mongoose), However the sockets I did not have to remove them:

"hooks": {"orm": false, "pubsub": false, "blueprints": false}

/config/sessions.js

adapter: 'mongo',
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
db: 'page',
collection: 'sessions',

This stores it in my Mongo database:

{
    "_id" : "Nt90RxTcHkOT9aM3qJ1QzxyHlnvFoUuw",
    "session" : "{\"cookie\":{\"originalMaxAge\":null,\"expires\":null,\"httpOnly\":true,\"path\":\"/\"},\"passport\":{}}",
    "expires" : ISODate("2015-07-24T10:59:42.551Z")
}

It is correct?

The reason for the message is that when you restart sails the session info is deleted on the server side but the client side still has a session cookie and when it reconnects it reuses the previous session cookie to identify which is no longer valid and therefore the server logs this warning.

There are a number of ways to prevent this message:

Use an external session store such as redis which will detach the session data from sails and will keep it even when you restart sails. see here: http://sailsjs.org/documentation/reference/configuration/sails-config-session
if socket.io is not required remove it from the project for removing the client side delete assets/js/dependencies/sails.io.js and sails.io.js include file in tasks/pipeline.js and for the server side

add this to .sails.rc:

  {
    "hooks": {
      "sockets": false,
      "pubsub": false 
     }
  }

just reopen the browser window which will start a new socket session
