Session being reset by django-all auth

Question

I am using django all auth for login on my website. I want to pass some session variables from one view to the other, but when I go to login page through allauth, my session variable is somehow being reset. Is the session being destroyed when I go to the login page? If yes, how can I pass my variables from one view to the other?

view1

  request.session['redirect-url'] = request.get_full_path()
  path = request.session['redirect-url']

view2 (in login view )

 session_url = request.session.get('redirect-url' , None)
 if session_url:
     success_url = session_url
     del request.session['redirect-url']
 

I also check this session variable on other pages of my site and it is being passed correctly. But is being reset when i got to my login page. Why?

I have checked the login view and there is no explicit statement that clears the session variable.

Answer 1

Because you define del in your login view. del clears the session variable.

session_url = resquest.session.get('redirect-url' , None)
if session_url:
    success_url = session_url
