Laravel5.2: Session store not set on request报错

一开始我在写登录模板时，将取到的数据存入session中，在同一个控制器内写入在立马print出来没有什么问题，我认为session是已经启动了的。但是再通过另一个控制器来打印这个变量就显示为NULL。
在网上找了很久也没有找到合适的答案，按照网上的方法试了一天，输入composer update然而没有什么反应，我已经更新到最新了，还有的说是laravel版本的原因，要laravel5.2以上的才可以。因为我是小白，对于中间件的操作只是停留在基础。我先用php artisan --version查看了我的版本，我的是Laravel Framework version 5.2.22。
不过看到国外有位大神说5.2版本中间件有点啥问题，将session放到global middleware中。
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
加在Kernel.php中间件内，加完后的代码如下：

namespace App\Http;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
   /**
    * The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
    *
    * These middleware are run during every request to your application.
    *
    * @var array
    */
   protected $middleware = [
       \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
       \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
   ];

   /**
    * The application's route middleware groups.
    *
    * @var array
    */
   protected $middlewareGroups = [

       'web' => [
           \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
           \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
           \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
           \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
       ],

       'api' => [
           'throttle:60,1',
       ],
   ];

   /**
    * The application's route middleware.
    *
    * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
    *
    * @var array
    */
   protected $routeMiddleware = [
       'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
       'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
       'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
       'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
   ];
}
