Description
The following line in clear_expired for file based sessions does not do what the author intended:
storage_path = getattr(settings, "SESSION_FILE_PATH", tempfile.gettempdir())
tempfile.gettempdir() will only be called if SESSION_FILE_PATH does not exist in settings. But it does exist and defaults to None. The exception occurs in the call os.listdir(storage_path).
What is probably required is this:
storage_path = getattr(settings, "SESSION_FILE_PATH", None)
if not storage_path:
storage_path = tempfile.gettempdir()
or this:
storage_path = cls._get_storage_path()

Good catch — that's why I factored out
_get_storage_path! And I forgot to use it in the final patch :(This mistake wasn't caught because Django forces the value of
SESSION_FILE_PATHin order to be able to clean up after the tests.
