Phalcon PhP - flash messages not showing

Question

I'm having trouble showing flash messages with Phalcon PhP. Here is how I register the service:

use Phalcon\Flash\Direct as Flash;
$di->set('flash', function () {
    return new Flash(array(
        'error'   => 'alert alert-danger',
        'success' => 'alert alert-success',
        'notice'  => 'alert alert-info',
        'warning' => 'alert alert-warning'
    ));
});

In my controller I add the flash message like this

$this->flash->success('The carrier was successfully activated');

In my view I try to show like this (volt):

{{ flash.output() }}

My layout has the {{ content() }} tag and I have tried to apply the discussed in this post but it doesn't work anyway.

Can you see what I'm missing here? Thanks for any help!

Your are using the wrong flash session. Instead of

use Phalcon\Flash\Direct as Flash;

Use

use Phalcon\Flash\Session as Flash;

The documentation says:

Flash\Direct will directly outputs the messages passed to the flash.
Flash\Session will temporarily store the messages in session, then messages can be printed in the next request
