How am I supposed to use this module?

[yoooooooooooooooooooooooo]

The example doesn't work:

    import bottle
    from bottle.ext import beaker
    
    session_opts = {
        'session.type': 'file',
        'session.cookie_expires': 300,
        'session.data_dir': './data',
        'session.auto': True
    }
    
    app = beaker.middleware.SessionMiddleware(bottle.app(), session_opts)
    
    @bottle.route('/test')
    def test():
        s = bottle.request.environ.get('beaker.session')
        s['test'] = s.get('test',0) + 1
        s.save()
        return 'Test counter: %d' % s['test']
    
    bottle.run(app=app)

s is always None and I don't understand why...

[yoooooooooooooooooooooooo]

    Exception:
    AttributeError("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'",)

That's weird. I tried your exact same code and didn't run into any problems. Worked on both python2.7 and python3.6

Hello, same for me AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' Linux centos + python 3.6

If s is None, then beaker middleware did not inject the session object. The example code actually does not use this plugin, but directly applies the beaker session middleware to the whole bottle application.
