TypeError: Cannot read property 'cookie' of undefined

When calling my User.create method in my Sails.js app, I get the following error:

/Users/user/code/bt/tgein/node_modules/mongodb-core/lib/topologies/server.js:779 catch(err) { process.nextTick(function() { throw err}); }

Here is my User controller in its entirety. 

User.create(req.params.all(), function userCreated(err, user) {
        // var userid = user.id;
        // console.log(userid);

        if(err) {
            console.log(err);

            req.session.flash = {
                err: err.ValidationError
            }

            return res.redirect('/user/loginDetails');
        }
        var oldDateObj = new Date();
        var newDateObj = new Date(oldDateObj.getTime() + 60000);
        req.session.cookie.expires = newDateObj;
        req.session.authenticated = true;
        console.log(req.session);
        // res.redirect('/user/profileSelection/?id=' + user.id);

        // Saves user data into session variable
        req.session.user = user;



        res.redirect('/user/profileSelection/');
    });

apparently the session value is undefined for the request. This seems symptomatic of something basic that isn't happening, but I don't know what that is.

The problem was I had the session store trying to go through the production adapter in my sessions.js on my local app, which caused the req.session to fail.

I think the problem is not of session, as session is always retained/defined within an sails app. May be the issue exists, when you trying to save the data.

req.session.cookie is not defined and you are trying to set a value to an undefined object.

var oldDateObj = new Date();
var newDateObj = new Date(oldDateObj.getTime() + 60000);
if(!req.session.cookie)
    req.session.cookie = {};
req.session.cookie.expires = newDateObj;
