Server-side req.session.cookie expiration data not updating?

[delfuego]

Is there a chance that when resave is set to false, Express is still not updating the req.session.cookie information, specifically the expires and maxAge values?

I built a simple handler that just replies with a JSON {"success": true}. I set up express-session with SequelizeStore, a maxAge of 30 minutes, rolling set to true, and resave set to false. When I hit the handler, the expiry information in the cookie that's sent to the client is properly updated with each hit, but req.session.cookie.expires and req.session.cookie.maxAge don't ever change.

Is this an issue with express-session? Or is this something that's within the control of connect-session-sequelize?

Note that if I change resave to true, then the req.session.cookie info is properly updated with each hit on the handler... which is why I'm starting here.

can you provide me with a simple reproduction case using https://github.com/mweibel/connect-session-sequelize-example please? Thanks

Weirdly, I cannot — I just spent an hour and a half trying to come up with a usable test case, but there's some weirdness with req.session.cookie getting updated or not when it's read that I can't figure out. I have to move to other stuff for a bit, but will come back to this and try to wrap my head around what's happening.
