I've created an app to demo

ideas on how to fix?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

We got this error too. Memcached is not down. It happen sometimes on production server and I managed to reproduce it on a pristine rails4 application using dalli_store or mem_cache_store as session_store. Sending a request with a forged blank session_id cookie will raise ArgumentError (key cannot be blank)

Answer 2

I had this issue as well. Dalli 2.7.2 fixes the issue(dalli@52f2208), so I recommend upgrading.

Answer 3

i got this error, too. problem is memcached is down.(check application log)

check your memcached daemon!
