Setting session before login throws `Error: Can’t set headers after they are sent`

I need to have sessionId even before user logs in, to tracks browsing session of user and tie him to it later when he logs in, so I did this:

server.use(async (ctx, next) => {
  if (!ctx.session.sessionId) {
    ctx.session.sessionId = uuid.v4();
  }
  await next();
});

however if I do this I get (despite session id saving no problem)

{ Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.

    at <anonymous> headerSent: true }

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

there are lot’s of middlewares will not work with next.js if it still use ctx.respond = false, for now, you can’t set session in the same controller with next.js.

already fixed in new koa version, it will ignore set header if body already sent.
