Looks like a version ahead problem.

node -v
v0.5.10-pre

npm install connect-mongodb
npm ERR! Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected]

MongoStore's constuctor options can use "server_config" instead of "db".
but default dbname is "/dev". this is invalid name for mongodb.

https://gist.github.com/1102625

  , _defaults = {host: '127.0.0.1', port: 27017, dbname: '/dev', collection: 'sessions', reapInterval: 60 * 1000};

maybe it's from 0.x, mongodb connnection used "mongodb://host:port" + dbname style URL.

 url += (hosts[i] || hosts[0]) + ':';
 url += ports[i] || ports[0];
 url += options.dbname ? '/' + options.dbname : defaults.dbname;

but now 1.0.x, connect-mongodb doesn't use this URL. so default dbname should "dev" (exclude slash).

I should write some tests!

With the HEAD version of connect-mongodb (https://github.com/masylum/connect-mongodb/commit/fdbe0ff4bf9465f7bfa55f106b2176d3cfd3df79), trying to use it in a replicated mongo setup, I get the following error on app startup:

hi. i'm trying to use connect-mongodb (and express) with replica sets and authentication but get the following error:

  app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
  app.use(express.bodyParser());
  app.use(express.methodOverride());
  app.use(express.cookieParser());
  app.use(express.session({
    cookie: {maxAge: 60000 * 20}, // 20 minutes
    secret: 'foo',
    store: new mongoStore({
      host: '192.168.2.99',
      port: [27017, 27018, 27019],
      dbname: 'testdb',

      password: 'secret'
    })
  }));
  app.use(app.router);
  app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
});

any advice?

MongoDB 1.1.10 requires you to explicitly set safe in the db_options. You can set it to false. If you don't set it, this annoying message pops up: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/master/lib/mongodb/db.js#L111

Right now I'm setting it to safe: false, but in the future I believe safe: true by default, so you would want to update the code accordingly.

I'm running MongoDB 1.8.1, Express 2.3.4, Mongoose 1.3.3 & I am unable to perform npm install connect-mongodb. The output I get is as follows:

I get this long error out of my app that follows your example pretty closely. (running node v0.2.5)

https://gist.github.com/779266

I couldn't find the example, where you show how to use get,set, length methods. Maybe you accidentally deleted ?

Following this tutorial
http://dailyjs.com/2010/12/06/node-tutorial-5/

Using the session store with a hosted db solution like those mentioned in the title seems to break something. Works great with a fresh local mongodb tho...

Any ideas?

I just update node to 0.4.9 and when i do this:
app = require('express').createServer(

     express.cookieParser(),
      // Parses x-www-form-urlencoded request bodies (and json)
      express.bodyParser(),
      express.session({ secret: cfg.wiki_session_secret,
            store:new MongoStore({  
                        dbname: 'mydatabase',
                        host: '127.0.0.1',
                        port: 27017
                 })
        })
),

I got this error:

I think it doesn't work for v0.4.9

Hi, I can see that in every visits, there will be a new record stored in the database, would those records delete itself or I have to do it? If I have to do it, how could I?

{ "_id" : "na11Ioshb86v5nKRl7WMlVzn.TZypW4Zn6IWUQQ8tUK0k73H3VWqCXhzTq5wii+ssue4", 
"session" : "{\"lastAccess\":1306946645365,\
"cookie\":{\"originalMaxAge\":2592000,\"expires\":\"2011-06-01T17:27:17.369Z\",\"httpOnly\":true,\"path\":\"/\"},\"username\":\"forestgumb\"}", 
"expires" : NumberLong("1306949237000") }

That's a record in collection sessions in database chat. You can see there are two expires, the first expries is "2011-06-01T17:27:17.369Z", 30 days from this date, which is exactly what I set in mongo_store configure. The second one is 1306949237000, which is 15-Jul-2010 2: 30pm, only 15 days from this date.

which one of those expires determine the expiration of the session in database ?

I would love to store sessions in MongoDB using connect-mongodb. Sadly it keeps telling me that it is not supported on Windows when I try to install it via npm. It's dependencies Node.js, MongoDB and connect all work fine on Windows, so that can't be the barrier, can it?

You will probably hate me for using this OS, but I'll ask anyway. ^_^ Is there a way to install it manually? It would be so sad if I ought to miss connect-mongodb. Here is what the console sais:

Is connect-mongodb licensed? If so, under what license? I need to provide this information for any and all npm modules I use.

The connect-mongodb module works with mongodb driver 1.02 and below, but not with any version above that.

Additional discussion here: Automattic/mongoose#1033 (comment)

I'm looking for the 'sessions' collection. Everything works perfect, yet I fail to find that collection. I suspect some caching mechanism. Should I .save() in order to see the collection?

Can you please write something about it in the readme, or add an example.

A lot of thanks,

Oren

I store usernames in the mongo_store, and I want to retrieve session using username instead of sessionId, look like it doesn't work that way?

My data scheme:

{ lastAccess: { low_: 1896901905, high_: 304 },
  cookie: 
   { path: '/',
     httpOnly: true,
     _expires: Fri, 08 Jul 2011 21:02:44 GMT,
     originalMaxAge: { low_: -1702967296, high_: 0 } },
  ioid: '8401068514212966',
  channel: 'all',
  username: 'xuka' }

nodejs code

    <pre>mongo_store.get(SessionId, function(err, session) {
        //results
    });

    mongo_store.get(username, function(err, session) {
        //no result
    });</pre>

I receive the following error installing connect-mongodb:

Failed at the [email protected] install script
Fails on: bash ./install.sh

I am running node 0.6.7 on windows

I've googled this and even searched the closed issues here on github, but I can't find anyone with this problem.

I'm using node.js v0.4.9 (The version from the ubuntu repositories) and connect v1.8.5 that I grabbed from npm. I also grabbeb connect-mongodb from npm.

Every time I require('connect-mongodb') I get an exception stating :
TypeError: Cannot read property 'Store' of undefined

This point to the first line of connect-mongodb.js that reads :
var Store = require('connect').session.Store

Is this an incompatibility issue or something?
If you need more informations, let me know.

Hello,

is there a option delete stale sessions in mongodb? I set maxAge but stale sessions are still in my mongodb.

Thanks for your help.

I have a patch file and can send it to you

Hi there,

When I go to www.server.com instead of server.com, Express dumps with this:

Any ideas?

hello mates what's up

ok sessions are set, everything works fine, when i call a page i get a new raw in database, i can also add attributes like so

req.session.myuser = 'myname'

my problem is that req.sessionStore is empty
when i dump it all i got is

{ generate: [Function] }

i'm suposed to have all prototyped function clear, length etc

why is that ?

i'm using express 3.0.0rc2

here is my app.js

var mongoStore= require('connect-mongodb')
app.use(express.logger())
app.use(express.bodyParser())
app.use(express.methodOverride())
app.use(express.cookieParser())
app.use(express.session({ cookie: {maxAge: 60000 * 10}, secret: "secretkey", store: new mongoStore({ db: mongo.con.db, reapInterval: 15000 }) })) //check every 5 seconds with a 2 minutes expire time
app.use(app.router)


app.get('/mypage', function(req, res){

   console.log(req.sessionStore) // return { generate: [Function] }

  o = {}
  for(var i in req.sessionStore) o[i] = i
  res.json(o) // return prototyped object (with length, clear, destroy etc )
   //but accessing them don't work because they are null

})}

notice that if i change

for(var i in req.sessionStore) o[i] = i
//with
for(var i in req.sessionStore) o[i] = req.sessionStore[i]

than res.json(o) will be equal to {}

:( any idea ??

Hi - just wondering, since express 3 is coming soon...

Hi there,

I've upgrade to node 0.4.3 today, and with it lots of packages via npm. I made some minor code tweaks to make sure that Mongoose's models are defined properly, but that's about it.

Now, upon running the server and attempting a connection, I get this:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
at Object.parse (native)
at /usr/local/lib/node/.npm/connect-mongodb/0.2.1/package/lib/connect-mongodb.js:138:25

at Socket.emit (events.js:64:17)
at Socket._onReadable (net.js:665:31)
at IOWatcher.onReadable [as callback] (net.js:177:10)

Also, if i just leave the server running, I'll eventually get this error:

 21 Mar 00:00:51 - [ERROR] TypeError

/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/connect-mongodb/0.2.1/package/lib/connect-mongodb.js:104

at Timer.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/connect-mongodb/0.2.1/package/lib/connect-mongodb.js:104:19)

Any idea what's up with this?

Thanks!
Paul

As documented here:
http://senchalabs.github.com/connect/middleware-session.html

Is it possible it's not working with your session store? I'm not sure if it's me or the library here though...

I'm trying to keep the session alive as long as the websocket connection is alive... so I'd like to touch the session everytime I receive a message or send one with socket.io.

To gather the session within socket.io, I take the request's session and fetch it with your session store. Once I got it, I tried to touch it, I got an undefined method...

Am I using the right object here? Appreciate any help on the matter! Thanks.

https://github.com/masylum/connect-mongodb/blob/master/lib/connect-mongodb.js#L140

this prevents us using Mongoose to recreate the db schema, and then try a query like this...

db.model('Sessions').find({"session._csrf":"boiajwofijaweifj"});

^ won't work since the data in DB is a string vs JSON

getting this error

I was on 0.3.0 and just updated to connect 1.5.2 and connect-mongodb 0.4.0

I'm getting this error:

Reverting back to 0.3.0 for now.

I prefer to store my mongo database path in an environment variable, so that it can be different on the production and dev servers. The require('mongodb').connect function can simply take a string specifying the full path to a database, so it would be convenient if I could pass the same string to connect-mongo instead of an options object. Internally, there is already a function to parse such a string (parseConnectionURL), so it should be a simple fix.

Anybody (apart from me) ever seen a need for the following optional functionality 'afterReap' see here in

https://github.com/daithiw44/connect-mongodb#afterreap

afterReap: is an optional function passed in as an argument to return the sessionID's removed in the current reap of dead sessionID's.

Use case : I was using it where I had a sessionID and I was storing the ID against other collections and not against the session data as such and when the user left I'd want to know to clean up their footprints.

Just a suggestion if anyone thinks it might be worth having, else I'm happy to exist in my own version of my world.

Hi,

Is it possible to (re)generate a session with a _id given?

Thanks,
Philippe

The npm version seem a bit old, is it planned to refresh it?

this happens periodically every 10-20 minutes. The errors:

This issue will crash mongoDB and nodejs server at the same time. below is the code, that the error might be talking about

socket.on('connection', function(client) {
    client.on('message', function(message) {
        //line69 is here
        mongo_store.get(message.chatSessionId, function(err, session) {
            //console.log(message.chatSessionId);
            console.log(message.text);
            //console.log(session);
            if (err || !session) {
                client.send('Your chat session has been expired. Try reload the page');
                return;
            }
            else if(message.username === session.username){             
                socket.broadcast(message.username+': '+ wordFilter(message.text));
            }
        });
    });
});

You should apply this changes in lib/connect-mongodb.js file

Can you make connect-mongodb support database connection URIs like mongoose?

It'll simplify configuration for apps that use mongoose already.

Hi.
I'm using [email protected] and getting "TypeError: Cannot call method 'findOne' of null at MongoStore.get"
after updated to [email protected], [email protected]. I guess your mongodb version 0.9.7 is rather old one.

You stringify the session before storing it. This makes it difficult to query in mongo, mongo can handle json. What am I missing? Thanks.

Hello, please help me with this problem
my code:
app.use(express.session({
secret: 'keyboard cat',
cookie: { maxAge: 60_60_2 },
store: new mongoStore( { db:db } )
}));
and when i call:
db.users.findOne()
i have this error
then i call
db.users
i get - undefined
thank you.

After I upgraded to Express to 2.3.2 (which also upgrades Connect to 1.4.0) I am now receiving an error when trying to use connect-mongodb for my session store. If I switch back to Express 2.2.2 I don't have any issues:

My app.js looks like this:

var mongoStore = require('connect-mongodb');
app.set('db-uri', 'mongodb://localhost/questions');
app.configure(function(){
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({
secret: 'hi',
store: new mongoStore({url: app.set('db-uri')})
}));
app.use(express.logger({ format: '\x1b[1m:method\x1b[0m \x1b[33m:url\x1b[0m :response-time ms' }))
app.use(app.router)
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
});

the newest version of node V0.7.1 is out and [email protected] does not support this.

mongodb 0.9.7 dependency break the "npm install connect-mongodb" installation on win32 platform.
newer mongodb like 1.0.2 will fix this problem
thanks

With a quite basic/default setup i get this appon the first connection.
can somebody verify?

i'm having trouble installing 1.0.0.rc because the mongodb 0.9.6-4 has been removed from npm packages

The dependencies included (mongodb and connect) are both too old for the 0.8 branch. Any plans on making this 0.8-compliant?

https://npmjs.org/package/mongodb

newest is 1.1.4
