Rails sessions when stop / start server

Question

When I stop Rails server and start it again, the session hash still has objects.

Why is happening that ?

Thank you in advance, Ele

Answer 1

By default you store the sessions to a cookie. That means that the data are on the client side. So even if you restart your server, the data remains.

check here for the docs.

You can of course store your session in various session stores

Answer 2

try rake db:drop

then after that rake db:migrate to migrate your database from schema

otherwise check your seeds file to see if you have any seed data.
