Passing TempData with RedirectToAction works in Visual Studio but not in production












0















Web Application ASP MVC Core 2.1
I have two models with a Parent-Children relationship, they are Course and CourseEdition; a Course can have many Editions.



The page where I display Course details also shows a list of its editions.
I use JQuery to populate the same page with the details of the edition: when clicking on one of the editions I have a DIV filled with its details data.
There are actions (i.e. enroll one or more person in an edition) that I would like to end with a redirect to the Editions details.



I have set up a mechanism like this:



In the controller action "RegisterPeople" I set TempData with the ID of the Edition I want to be redirected to, then I redirect to the Details action in CourseController.



[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> RegisterEmployees([Bind("CourseId,CourseEditionId,Subscribers")] RegistrationData regData)
{
TempData["NextCourseId"] = regData.CourseId;
TempData["NextEditionId"] = regData.CourseEditionId;
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
<do something>

return RedirectToAction("Details", "Courses", new { id = regData.CourseId });
}


Here (Course Controller, Details Action) I read TempData and copy its value in ViewBag.



public async Task<IActionResult> Details(int? id)
{
<do something>

ViewBag.GotoEditionId = TempData["NextEditionId"] ;
return View();
}


In the details view I have a DIV with a data-attribute populated by the ViewBag value (the Edition's ID),



<div id="GotoEditionId" data-ceid="@ViewBag.GotoEditionId">&nbsp;</div>
@section Scripts {
@{await Html.RenderPartialAsync("_CourseScripts");}
}


Now, in _CourseScript.cshtml a JQuery event handler is triggered when clicking on this div does the magic of populating the edition div.



$(document).ready(function () {

$(document).on("click", "#GotoEditionId", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var params = {};
params["id"] = $(this).data("ceid");
$.ajax({
url: $("#GetEditionUrl").data('get-edition'),
type: "GET",
data: params,
success: function (result) {
$("#EditionBlock").html(result);
},
error: function (err) {
alert("error");
$("#EditionBlock").html(err.responseText);
}
});
});

var GotoEditionId = $("#GotoEditionId").data("ceid");
if (GotoEditionId > 0) {
$("#GotoEditionId").trigger("click");
}

})


This works perfectly while I am in development with Visual Studio.
When I deploy to a remote IIS server, TempData is filled in the "register" action but it is found empty when entering in the "Details" action.



Who is the culprit? Why TempData is persisted in dev mode and vanishes in production?



EDIT 1



Using Session



In Startup.cs



public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services
.AddMvc()
.SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1)
.AddSessionStateTempDataProvider()
.AddJsonOptions(config =>
{
config.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;
});
services.AddSession();

.....

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IHostingEnvironment env)
{
....
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseCookiePolicy();
app.UseSession();

    What is your Startup.cs? Have you accept ConsentCookie while accessing the published site? For TempData, it uses Cookies or Sessions. Check whether there is any cookies created while accessing the site. Try to deploy to your development iis to check whether this issue still happens. To check whether it is specific to your project, make a test with built-in asp.net core and add TempData["Test"] to HomeController and access it from About action.

  • Added Startup relevant code. On Localhost it does work, on remote IIS it doesnt. Now I'll try a clean project with HomeController as suggested

    Tried with HomeController, default TempData with Cookie works both on localhost and on server. When deploying test application to IIS I have restarted IIS Server. Now all works correctly for my app too (using session). The good old joke about IT people attitude to "shutdown and restart" is confirmed one more time ;o)
