[nimaai]

to take look at: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#upgrading-from-rails-5-2-to-rails-6-0

[nimaai]

can be reproduced locally. cause: old session cookies created by rails 5.2

work done so far: 50c6f44

@DrTom now only update of the secrets in deploy is required. i leave it to you as i don't know what is used to create them.

[DrTom]

@nimaai I am not quite happy with changing the secret to facilitate this. That would mean that this has to be done for every instance of madek. Is there a better way to fix this? Maybe enable the old method of reading the contents or catch this exception (then delete the cookie and do a redirect to start over).

[DrTom]

:hybrid should do the trick, see

rails/rails#15111 (comment)

[nimaai]

:hybrid does not work anymore. next steps:

1. see if :hybrid can work somehow
2. catch the exception then delete the cookie
3. rename the cookie
4. change the secret as last resort
