It's very strange for me as I have multiple projects on which I am currently working & all are working fine but this one project has issues with sessions. Session data doesn't persist.
I am using Laravel 5.6 & session drive file
What I tried:
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, from $middlewareGroups to $middlewareweb.php tried adding web middleware & remvoing it as wellstorage\framework\sessions. BTW files are creating in this directory when a put something in sessionsession(['key'=>'value']) & session()->put(['key','value']No luck With all these. One more thing, After session()->put() when I tried to print data on same page from session, it is printed.
This question may seems to be duplicate to you first, but I have did complete search on it & followed instructions in laravel 5.6 session not persisting when view returned but no luck.
You are setting session wrongly use session()->put('key', 'value'); And make sure when you are using file driver, the directory where sessions kept is writable.
Also make sure that in you browser cookies are enabled.
