Forum: Ruby on Rails SECURITY WARNING: No secret option provided to Rack::Session::Cookie.

I am getting following warning while generating model, how to get rid of
this warning and what is cause for this warning. I am using rails 3.2.8

   SECURITY WARNING: No secret option provided to Rack::Session::Cookie.
   This poses a security threat. It is strongly recommended that you
   provide a secret to prevent exploits that may be possible from
crafted
   cookies. This will not be supported in future versions of Rack, and
   future versions will even invalidate your existing user cookies.

Thank you.

Normally you'd have

YourApplication::Application.config.secret_token = 'long random string'

in an initializer, which rails should then pass through to rack. You can
use rake secret to generate such a token.

I just read about this yesterday. It's an issue with the very latest 
update to the rack gem, as I understand it. The issue was patched in the 
Rails master and should make it's way into the next point release of 
Rails. According to the bug discussion this warning can be safely 
ignore, so just wait for the next Rails release and the warning should 
go away.

I got the same Problem. My Rake Version 10.0.3. Thank you Mr.Robert 
Walker

Rake is not Rack.

Thank you Jordon
