Looking at the rest of globals.py I don't think this approach will work. For one, it affects storing sessions in any database, not just redis. Since the table is declared with a "boolean" field I don't think its gonna like the string version of "False".
I wonder why we don't have a simple minded dialect in DAL for redis. Admittedly, it's not a RDBMS so a lot of DAL just won't ever work on redis. But it would have provided a clean place to map "booleans" to strings instead of bools in this case, making it easy to special-case redis. But maybe that would encourage people to complain that the implementation of the redis DAL dialect is too deficient. Putting it in DAL would raise people's expectations of what it can handle. -- Joe On Sunday, March 31, 2019 at 10:19:20 AM UTC-7, Jim S wrote: > > I changed the following in gluon/globals.py and mine is working now.
