Session not getting initialized

I've been trying for the last 4 days to understand what has happened so that session isn't getting initialized anymore.

My app was working just fine, until one day suddenly i started having the error

undefined local variable or method `session' for < StaticPagesController:0x7c84728 >

I debugged it and tracked it down to request_forgery_protection.rb file, under action_controller\metal. 

def form_authenticity_token
  session[:_csrf_token] ||= SecureRandom.base64(32)
end

So, apparently, session wasn't being loaded.

I then tried suggestions from How force that session is loaded?, as you may see below.

def root

  if signed_in?
    ...
  else 
    session[:init] = true
    session[:init]
    @prospect = Prospect.new()
    render 'retailers/retailers_home'
  end
end

but still the same error keeps showing up.

Under my intializers, session_store.rb, everything seems fine :

RecibosOnline::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_RecibosOnline_session'

as this exact code works on other developer's machine, as well as on other server. So this must be something specific to my machine...but why??

What might be causing this?

When all else fails and nothing makes sense anymore, reset the world:

git clean -fdx
