Sinatra not passing session variable?

I have the following code:

enable :sessions
class CSFSWC < Sinatra::Application

post '/login' do

  username = params[:username]
  password = params[:password]

if csfsss.authenticate(username,password) == false
  redirect '/'
  # session[:loginsession] = nil
else
  # Start session here
  session[:username] = params[:username]
  @sessionID = session[:username]
  puts "Session : #{@sessionID}"
  redirect '/main'
end

get '/main' do
 puts "main session : #{@sessionID}"
end

In /main the puts print out a empty session[:username]. Any ideas? As far as I understand sessions in Sinatra according to: Sinatra Sessions.

It should just work.

In fact even if I copy the example from Sinatra Sessions

class CSFSWC < Sinatra::Base
  enable :sessions

  get '/foo' do
    session[:message] = 'Hello World!'
    puts "foo : #{session[:message]}"
    redirect '/bar'
  end

  get '/bar' do
    puts "bar : #{session[:message]}"
  end

It still does not work?

It's working just fine - look at your app's output to the console. It's just not doing what you expect. puts writes to stdout, not to the browser. With Sinatra, the last string you return is what is sent to the browser. This is what you want:

class CSFSWC < Sinatra::Base
  enable :sessions

  get '/foo' do
    session[:message] = 'Hello World!'
    # This just writes it to your log
    puts "foo : #{session[:message]}"
    redirect '/bar'
  end

  get '/bar' do
    "bar : #{session[:message]}"
  end
end
