Getting session ID with $session->getId() returns an empty result in Symfony2

I want to getting session ID to store it in the database (because I store shopping carts in my database). Thereby, I want to get session ID, with this method:

$session = $this->get('session');
$carts->setSessionId($session->getId());

But this method returns an empty result. It's really weird because if I send this ID in my view with, for exemple:

'session' => $session->getId(),

It works... It's really strangely ; have I make an error in my code?

getSessionId() and setSessionId() functions:

/**
 * Set sessionId
 *
 * @param string $sessionId
 * @return Carts
 */
public function setSessionId($sessionId)
{
    $this->sessionId = $sessionId;

    return $this;
}

/**
 * Get sessionId
 *
 * @return string 
 */
public function getSessionId()
{
    return $this->sessionId;
}

Thank you per advance!

The getId() method returns an empty string if the session has not been started yet. When starting the session manually, don't forget to check if the session hasn't been started already.

if(!$session->isStarted()) {
    $session->start();
}

Please make sure your session has been started otherwise Session::getId() returns am empty string (''). See Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/Session/Storage/NativeSessionStorage

$session = $this->get('session');
$session->start();
$carts->setSessionId( $session->getId() );
