Put_session not adding the value in the session

Hello Guys

I am trying to add some info in the session but inspecting my conn struct does not show the values have been added(they are not in the conn struct). Below is part of the code doing that

def create_session(conn, %{"jwt" => jwt, "user_type" => user_type}) do
  case App.Auth.authenticate(jwt) do
    %Session{} = session ->
      conn
      |> put_session(:token, jwt)
      |> put_session(:user_id, session.user_id)

      ......some other code
  end
end

confirming if the token is set in the session with jwt = conn.private.plug_session[:token] returns nil.

What might I be missing? Thanks in advance

Maybe

conn = conn
|> ...

but it’s not clear without the rest of the code :slight_smile:

here is the rest of the code.

def create_session(conn, %{"jwt" => jwt, "user_type" => user_type}) do
    case Ponos.Auth.authenticate(jwt) do
      %Session{} = session ->
        conn
        |> put_session(:token, jwt)
        |> put_session(:user_id, session.user_id)

        case user_type do
          "customer" ->
            customer = CustomerServer.get(session.user_id)

            if customer.name == nil do
              conn
              |> put_flash(:info, "Success")
              |> redirect(to: Routes.user_path(conn, :set_user, session: session.user_id, user_type: user_type))
            else
              if length(customer.location_ids) <= 0 do
                conn
                |> put_flash(:info, "Success")
                |> redirect(to: Routes.location_apath(conn, :location, session: session.user_id, user_type: user_type))
              end
            end
          _ ->
            IO.puts("not a customer")
        end
      {:error, :signature_error} ->
        conn
        |> put_flash(:error, "Error while authenticating")
        |> redirect(to: "/")
    end
  end
