Description

At the moment all sessions are being flushed with a

./flow3 flow3:cache:flush

There should be an option to flush all caches except the session storage/cache. Otherwise everytime you deploy a fix to your FLOW3 based SaaS project, all your customers loose their sessions and will have to relogin.

Maybe a small option like

./flow3 flow3:cache:flush --keepSessions

would do the trick.

Martin Brüggemann, Nov 8:

[...] Active Sessions should be removed by default when you flush the flow cache with the --force option.
The fact that flow loggs you out when deploying a new release with flow depends on the session save path.
By default flow sets an internal temporary path as session save path and if you deploy a new release with Surf
there's a new (empty) temporary path without the active sessions -> everyone is logged out!
SOLUTION: Just set a global session save path with TYPO3.Flow.session.PhpSession.savePath (f.e. /tmp)
and your sessions will stay active even if you deploy new releases with surf.
As soon as commit request #15942 is implemented flushing the cache will automatically flush the session
cache because then the session handling will be completley based on the internal Flow caching backend.

Hi all,
the solution above does not work any longer, because there is no PhpSession in Flow > 2.

What do you think about extending the FileBackend so that the path is configurable?
Then you could add

Flow_Session_Storage:
  backendOptions:
    cacheDirectory: 'some/other'path'

in your Caches.yaml in order to achieve the same as above?
Does that make sense?
