All my forms still expire

[warmwhisky]

I have set my 'drip-interval' => 59000 and my sessions 'lifetime' => env('SESSION_LIFETIME', 1), but my form still expires. I have a search box on every page.

How can I properly test this. I am not that experienced with phpunit so I do not know how to test using your tests.

Expected Behavior

Not expire

Acutal Behavior

Expire

Environment

• PHP Version: 7.1
• Laravel Version: 5.5
• LaravelCaffeine Version:0.6.2

Stack Trace

No stack trace. I don't know how to debug this

+1, been using this package up to last week with no issues, today, in a new clean install, it doesn't inject the JS in the website, just doesn't work

Downgrading composer to "genealabs/laravel-caffeine": "^0.5.0", it works fine again

[mikebronner]

Thanks for reporting! Have either of you published the configuration file prior to updating to 0.6? The conf settings have changed, which might account for this problem. I will take a look and see what else might be affecting this. @MarcosBL can you provide all the version info as well (os, PHP, Laravel, package) to help give a better understanding? Thanks! Also, is there a CSRF token meta tag on the page you want to be caffeinated?

[warmwhisky]

Mine was a fresh 5.5 install yesterday. I had the issue before generating the config file. I only generated it so I could change the milliseconds for testing, but got the same result.

[mikebronner]

Try setting the drip interval to 5000 for testing, instead of 59000. Let me know how that goes.

[MarcosBL]

Same here, fresh 5.5 Laravel install, issue before publishing, tried to publish to debug, saw the new format. I have a meta with the csrf token, had no forms, but inyected an empty one in the layout just to be sure: same thing, no JS inyected at all before , no matter wich interval in config file.

As soon as I downgrade to 0.5.0, everything starts working fine

Sys info: Linux Mint 18.3 / Laravel 5.5 / PHP 7.0.22 / Apache 2.4.18

[mikebronner]

@MarcosBL can you post the page code (Blade?) that you are testing on? I want to see if I can replicate your exact situation. Thanks :)

[mikebronner]

Is your page continuously refreshing, instead of dripping?

[mikebronner]

I have tested it on my end in a brand new blank laravel project, and it is continuously dripping. Here is my blade file that I used to test:

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <form method="post">
        {{ csrf_field() }}
        <input type="hidden" name="success" value="true">
        <input type="submit" value="Test Form Submit">
    </form>
@endsection

It is important that your session lifetime is greater than your drip interval, otherwise it wont work.

[mikebronner]

Also, are you still registering the package in the providers array of your app config? If so, it needs to be removed in L5.5 and up, as it will auto-register.

If you could link to or put up a repo where this is not working, that would really help.

[warmwhisky]

I just set 'drip-interval' => 5000 and 'lifetime' => env('SESSION_LIFETIME', 1) and it appears to be working now. I'm not sure if Chrome was caching anything?

Can you tell me how I can see this in console? Should it be seen in the network tab? Or is there any other way to monitor it firing?

[mikebronner]

I would recommend keeping the session at the default 120 (or something larger than 5). setting it to 1 is not a realistic (only useful for testing) value and can result in strange behavior.

To inspect the drips, I look at the resources tab. You should see a new drip request every 5 seconds with your current setup.

[warmwhisky]

No I wont be using those settings. I was just testing.

I am sorry but had a hectic day yesterday. I can no longer confirm I have it working. I am uninstalling to test without now.

I cannot see the resources tab in chrome. Where is that hidden? I thought it may be the network tab?

[warmwhisky]

So sorry for my mistake yesterday. It's still not working for me. I tried to make it expire, but for some reason I couldn't. I don't know if laravel or chrome was caching anything or what was going on, but today after uninstalling, I finally for it to expire (very confusing) After a fresh install of caffeine just now, I confirm it is not working for me.

I am looking in the network tab for the drip every 5 seconds but am not seeing it. Where exactly do I see the drip and what does it say? is it a js file? an url? I have no idea what to look for?

[warmwhisky]

Here are the other packages installed in Laravel. Maybe there is a conflict?

"require": { "php": ">=7.0.0", "barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "^3.1", "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "^2.4", "barryvdh/laravel-snappy": "^0.4.0", "fideloper/proxy": "~3.3", "genealabs/laravel-caffeine": "^0.6.2", "gloudemans/shoppingcart": "^2.4", "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.3", "h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64": "^0.12.3", "intervention/image": "^2.4", "laravel/framework": "5.5.*", "laravel/tinker": "~1.0", "maatwebsite/excel": "~2.1.0", "rydurham/sentinel": "^2.7", "sentry/sentry-laravel": "^0.8.0", "snowfire/beautymail": "^1.0", "spatie/laravel-backup": "^5.1" },

[warmwhisky]

Im having difficulties debugging this. Now when I set my session value back to 120 it still expires within the minute. Is this a chrome issue? I've noticed lately that I need to clear my cache more often when editing CSS. And even sometimes clearing the cache does not work, I have open the css file in the browser and then click refresh for the new css rules to be seen.

[mikebronner]

Are you checking for the drip on pages that have form? It will only drip if there is a form on the page, and the csrf-token is also on the page (either as meta tag or hidden field).

Sorry I might be wrong about the Resource tab (thats in Safari).

[MarcosBL]

Sorry for the late response, made a fast debug and found shouldRegisterGlobalMiddleware function returning false in my app.

All checks pass, but php_sapi_name (apache2handler in my situation) and app('env') (local in my situation. I think that's the problem, the logic in that function, that didn't exists in the previous release. Does this help ?

My session lifetime is the default 120, and muy config is:

return [
    'drip-interval' => 300000,
    'domain' => null,
    'route' => 'genealabs/laravel-caffeine/drip',
    'outdated-drip-check-interval' => 2000,
    'use-route-middleware' => false,
];

A simple return true; in that line injects the JS correctly in my template, so I assume the problem is on those checks. Injected code:

<script>
    let lastCheck = new Date();
    const caffeineSendDrip = function () {
        const ajax = window.XMLHttpRequest
            ? new XMLHttpRequest
            : new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');

        ajax.onreadystatechange = function () {
            if (ajax.readyState === 4 && ajax.status === 204) {
                lastCheck = new Date();
            }
        };

        ajax.open('GET', '/genealabs/laravel-caffeine/drip');
        ajax.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');
        ajax.send();
    }

    setInterval(function () {
        caffeineSendDrip();
    }, 300000);

    if (2000 > 0) {
        setInterval(function () {
            if (new Date() - lastCheck >= 7082000) {
                location.reload(true);
            }
        }, 2000);
    }
</script>

Just my 2 cents

[mikebronner]

Ah!!!!! That's the missing link, I completely forgot to handle Apache. Could you try version 0.6.3 to see if the fix works?

Thanks!

[MarcosBL]

Composer-updated and working fine, first try :+1:

Thanks !

[mikebronner]

@warmwhisky did this fix it for you as well?

[warmwhisky]

Sorry I was busy... Yep all sorted now. I can see the drip!

Thanks so much!

[mikebronner]

Awesome, sorry I forgot about Apache use-case. Thanks for sticking with the debugging and helping get it sorted out :)
