Constantly being signed out

[jnickelsen]

Describe the bug
I am being signed out after only several minutes of being logged-in on the site.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Log in
2. In my case, I have been trying to edit an existing article. So I am navigating to this page, and making some edits.
3. Upon either pressing ctl-S, and using the bottom "save" button (I've done these multiple times). An error message displays indicating that the article was unable to be saved, and I may have been logged out.
4. Only when I navigate back to the main Recordvault page, is this properly confirmed, as I'm again presented with the login screen.
5. It's interesting to note that though I am apparently logged out I am able to view the details of my account page.

Expected behaviour
First, that I would remain logged-in to the site for a "reasonable" length of time. During this period, I'd expect my edits to save. I would not receive an error saying I had been logged out every time I try to do so. (This is occurring after only a few minutes' worth of activity on the site. )

Browser and Device (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser Vivaldi
• Version Windows 10 OS Build 17763.615

Edit to add some further examples of strangeness with the logging in / out:

When I navigate to the page https://www.recordvault.io, I'm presented with "vaults you contribute to." This implies that I'm logged in, as how else would the site know who I am, and what vaults I contribute to?

If I select the "my account" link (https://www.recordvault.io/account/me) I can view my account details.

If I then navigate to the article that I want to edit, https://www.recordvault.io/vaults/scratch-zaphod/articles/a-fishing-trip, I'm unable to make any changes, and the save button doesn't display at the bottom of the page. If I select the vault settings, I'm told that "Only the owner may make changes to this vault. Contact the owner if you want any changes made."

It's not actually clear: if I'm logged in, why can't I edit and save changes to my own vaults and articles?

@jnickelsen Thanks for the report!

1. I'll be honest nothing is tested in Vivaldi, but there's nothing browser specific going on here so this shouldn't be a problem.
2. Do you have rough time frames so I can dig through the logs? (mainly of when you logged off)

Re: The added strangeness, I think that might be a good hint as to what the problem is.

Sure! Just in the last hour, between say 9:30 (nzt) and 10:15 (nzt). New Zealand time is GMT+12....

Thanks, will dig in

At the very least, this helped me uncover a search bug -- you should get logged out less frequently now! (But I won't promise it's fixed... still investigating)

Fantastic, thank you! On 14/08/2019 10:42:07 AM, Jessica Nickelsen <jessica.nickelsen@gmail.com> wrote: Sure! Just in the last hour, between say 9:30 (nzt) and 10:15 (nzt).
