How force that session is loaded?

Question

I\'m working on an application that needs to use session id information. My session is stored in cookies. The problem I have is that my session is not immediately available

I don't really understand your question. If you require a user to register or sign in before being able to access the site there should be no problem. When creating a user his information is immediately stored in a cookie. For example:

User controller: (registering is done through users#new)

def create
   @user = User.new(params[:user])
   if @user.save
     cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = user.remember_token
     redirect_to root_path, notice: "Thank you for registering!"
   else
     render :new
   end
 end

Sessions controller: (signing in is done through sessions#new)

 def create
  user = User.find_by_email(params[:session][:email].downcase)

  if user && user.authenticate(params[:session][:password])
    cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = user.remember_token
    redirect_to root_path, notice: "Logged in."
  else
    flash.now.alert = "Email or password is incorrect."
    render :new
 end
end
