Serenity session variable usage

Hi team am new to serenity. Let's say am storing this data as follows

Serenity.setSessionVariable("User Name").to("userKey");

Now in a scenario if I call this key like this Serenity.sessionVariableCalled("userKey") from a different step definition in a different class will I get the value saved?.

You can use the Actor specific session data explained in the Serenity user manual here: https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/screenplay/screenplay_fundamentals#actor-specific-session-data

Or you can use the old fashion way(explained for an earlier Serenity version in the author's framework blog website: https://johnfergusonsmart.com/sharing-state-steps-serenity-bdd/).

I'm not sure this last approach is still working though(it is a very old Serenity version which is described in this blog post: v1.5.5).

if it is a scenario different from which you call the session variable, it is not possible. the scenarios are independent -> SOLID

It should return that object, but you may need to typecast it. Also Serenity.sessionVariableCalled("userKey") is calling return (T) getCurrentSession().get("objectKey")
