No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out"

[kinsbrunner]

Hi guys,

I have been struggling for hours with this error which happens when having a link_to for destroying the session. For some reason, a GET is being sent instead of a DELETE action which makes this error happen.

Some points to highlight:

• Rails version 5.0.2, Devise 4.2.1, jquery-rails 4.3.1
• Yes, I have included the method: :delete (<%= link_to 'Exit', destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %>)
• Yes, Routes file is set correctly (destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy)
• Yes, on my application.html.erb I have already included the following lines:

    <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

• My application.js file looks as the following:

//= require jquery2
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables
//= require dataTables/extras/dataTables.responsive
//= require turbolinks
//= require tether
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require_tree .

• No, I am not willing to switch the Devise initializer to sign out via :get instead of :delete, I believe that's not "nice".
• If switching from link_to into button_to, it perfectlly works which makes me understand this issue is related to JS/jQuery topics.
• Everything was working fine until I added a theme

Not sure whether this could be related to the version of a gem (already played using previous versions of jQuery, Devise, etc)

Kindly let me know your ideas.
Thanks and regards.
Alejandro.

Let me add something weird which I am seeing through Console:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/logout"):

What it sounds weird to me is that it first triggers the DELETE to the correct "place", then a GET to "/" and, finally, the GET to "users/signo_out" which generates the error.

Guys,
Just tried removing all the theme JS and started adding them back until I found the piece of js which was changing controls.
This is definitely not a gem related bug so I am closing the issue.
Regards.
Alejandro.

In my case the problem occurred because I'm not using jquery on the project

[mittalyashu]

Still facing the same problem (and I am not even using js)

[Nechitadi]

hey, @kinsbrunner , did you manage to solve this problem? I have the same issue and I'm can't figure out what's the problem

[jorgearimitsu]

I solved this issue using jquery-ujs.
If you look into the readme it says:

make non-GET requests from hyperlinks

[julianguyen]

Is there any way to get this working without having to use jQuery?

[tegon]

By default the sign out route uses the DELETE HTTP method. You can either make an ajax yourself - without the help of jQuery - or change the Devise configuration to accept sign out as a GET request.

Devise.setup do |config|
  # The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete.
  config.sign_out_via = :get
end

You can use the button_to helper and style the button if you need.

<%= button_to 'Exit', destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %>

hi Jorge, it's worked
Thanks

Having the same problem here. My app is not using any JS and config.sign_out_via = :get doesn't make any difference.

@kinsbrunner shouldn't this issue be reopened?

[binyamindavid]

Can you reopen this issue?

[carlosantoniodasilva]

Can you provide a sample application that reproduces the issue? If we can confirm it's reproducible in a sample app, we can reopen and investigate further. Thanks.

[binyamindavid]

I found that issue. In rails 6, I had include jquery and popper.js

const { environment } = require('@rails/webpacker')

const webpack = require('webpack')
environment.plugins.append(
  'Provide',
  new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
    $: 'jquery',
    jQuery: 'jquery',
    Popper: ['popper.js', 'default']
  })
)


module.exports = environment

This fixed the problem.

Tegon;s solution worked for me

Devise.setup do |config|

The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete.

config.sign_out_via = :get
end

I fixed this by installing the gem "rails-ujs" and going into app/assets/javascripts/application.js and adding this code:
//= require rails-ujs

Hope this helps anyone dealing with this error

[aadikrs]

Dont know if someone still has this issue but i did a combination of 2 solutions:

i changed HTTP default :delete to :get (by @tegon )

Devise.setup do |config|
  # The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete.
  config.sign_out_via = :get
end

and
i used the rails-ujs gem as well as a safety net since i was in a time crunch to deploy (by @jose-Abel )

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

Thank you so much, you saved my day ...
