Hi all,  
I have a simple project, and want to do some session property testing. So, from the IA [docs video](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/videos/page-startup/8.1), I did this:

```python
def onStartup(session):
	message = 'Page path: ' + page.props.path
	system.perspective.print(message)

```

When I launch the project, open the browser dev tools to console, I see this:

No `Page path: ` info found here. It was very simple in the video, so there must be a simple solution.

Thanks

**Edit:** The video claims if you refresh the browser, the `startup` event should fire again. So I added a `session.custom.test01` prop and set that to `100`. Bound a label to it. Refreshed, then closed and relaunched project. Nothing.

**Edit 2:** My goal is to be able to navigate to the home page when the project loads/session starts. For some reason, even though I have custom security permissions on a particular view, our inventory kiosk almost always opens right to the inventory manager's screen, and that's no bueno.

Also, I just realized that even though I close the windows, it seems there is a cookie or something that remembers that session. So, I pasted the URL into another browser, and the `session.custom.test01` was set to `100`.

So, if a session startup requires a cache clear first or closing the browser, assuming it clears cookies on close, is there a work around for this?

Ok, I found that I am using `page.props` in the session startup, not the page startup! 🤦‍♂️

I got the `page.path` to print, using the correct event! And the session's custom prop `test01` to populate with a number correctly.

However, it does look like the browser's cookies/cache needs to be cleared to get the `session.startup` event to fire.
