Custom Session handler doesn't work

Questions Components & MVC

I’m trying to use custom session handler using Google Datastore. There is a part of code of main module:

 public function onBootstrap(MvcEvent $e)
 {
    $sessionConfig = new SessionConfig();

    $sessionManager = new SessionManager($sessionConfig);

    $sessionConfig->setOptions(
        $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('Config')['datastore-session']['session']
    );

    $sessionsStorage = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('CustomSessionStorage\Storage\CustomStorage');
    $sessionManager->setSaveHandler($sessionsStorage->createHandler());

    $sessionManager->start();

    Container::setDefaultManager($sessionManager);
}

But it doesn’t work. Sessions are still using files on server and method “SessionHandlerInterface::open” is never called.

But when I write this code (in the same place onBootstrap), session handler is used and methods “open”, “read” etc is used. Why the first code doesn’t work?

session_write_close();
session_set_save_handler($sessionsStorage->createHandler(), true);
session_save_path('sessions');
session_start();

How to use my custom handler?

I’ve added logging in SessionManager::start https://github.com/zendframework/zend-session/blob/master/src/SessionManager.php#L114
I’ve got the following https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dmitriytestapic/6d8034bdf5ee1cef37359bd1d6bbea70/raw/63787c92581bc352801ae9071c1457c416a200fb/zf2_session.log

Since you’re manually creating your SessionManager instance anyways… have you tried this:

$sessionManager = new SessionManager(
    $sessionConfig,
    null,
    $sessionsStorage->createHandler()
);

My suspicion is that the default PHP save handler is getting initialized somehow during SessionManager construction, so if you can inject the new handler then, it may work.
