are you using the web middleware? apparently in 5.2 you need to be using web middleware for sessions etc otherwise I am assuming it is regenerating a new session..

I have not changed anything in Laravel 5.2. Currently, i have a Laravel package which needs to use Laravel Session in some its custom classes and it's still working ok in Laravel 5.1.

Did you run my TestController in Laravel 5.2 and get different session id like me? In case, everything is working ok in your Laravel app, could you please give me an example...? Thank you!

i asked a specific question.. you should be using WEB middleware which LARAVEL doesnt register to routes for you automatically like it did before!

i am using 5.1 and in no hurry to upgrade to 5.2..

Route::group(['middlewareGroups' => ['web']], function () { ... });
