How to Sign Out in a Rails App, Using Devise Gem, No Route Matches /Users/Sign_Out

No route matches /users/sign_out devise rails 3

I think the route for signing out is a DELETE method. This means that your sign out link needs to look like this:

<%= link_to "Sign out", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete %>

Yours doesn't include the :method => :delete part. Also, please note that for this to work you must also include <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> in your layout file (application.html.erb).

Devise/Rails: No route matches [GET] /users/sign_out

Keep your devise.rb using the correct HTTP method:

# good 
config.sign_out_via = :delete

# bad
config.sign_out_via = :get

Use button_to instead of link_to

# good 
= button_to "Sign Out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete

# bad
= link_to "Sign Out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete"

If you are using bootstrap (keep it classy)

= link_to "Sign Out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete, class: "btn btn-default btn-sm"

Rails Devise Error No route matches [GET] /users/sign_out

Basically,
When you try to type url manually or you try to clickin link "sign-out" with new tab there are HTTP GET request and you will get No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out", it doesn't exist because you have only via DELETE request for /users/sign_out on your routes.rb , for the solution you can add this in config/initializer/devise.rb

# The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete.
config.sign_out_via = Rails.env.test? ? :get : :delete

And change DELETE to MATCH request on your routes.rb

e.g : match 'users/sign_out' => "devise/sessions#destroy"

For reference : Devise for user management and authentication.

To be honest, supposed change the default 'delete' HTTP method it is not recommended. It's to user for test (e.g using cucumber)
Cucumber Testing for “Sign Out”

Jose Valim explained why: “GET requests should not change the state of
the server. When sign out is a GET request, CSRF can be used to sign
you out automatically and things that preload links can eventually
sign you out by mistake as well.”

@manoj mona's say 'we must not let the user to sign out by typing in the URL. It is a bad practice'

So, If user to sign out by type in the URL.

1. You can to define it, if get request it will redirect or render notice (like stackoverflow sign out)

2. Or don't use link_to tag for sign out, use input tag with form (like facebook sign out), so users can't type in the URL see this answer

Unable to sign out in a Rails app, using Devise gem, no route matches /users/sign_out

in devise.rb

find config.sign_out_via = :delete

change to config.sign_out_via = :get

if you use :get make sure you are using :method = :get and if you are using :delete using :method => :delete in your link

in production you may have to swap it round, so you should use an if statement to check RAILS_ENV

In your example you are probably running in development mode and not test, which is why it's probably not working.

And restart your server as it's an initialiser.

No route matches [GET] /users/sign_out rails 5

Try the following in routes.rb

devise_for :users
devise_scope :user do
  get '/users/sign_out' => 'devise/sessions#destroy'
end

No route matches [GET] /members/sign_out Devise

This happens when you do not have the gem jquery-ujs installed or you are not calling the resulting javascript in your application via = javascript_include_tag "application", the response will be sent as a GET request, and the route will fail.

Check options below to make it work:

1. In devise.rb Change config.sign_out_via = :get (not
   recommended, since DELETE is the appropriate RESTful way to use this)

   config.sign_out_via = :delete 
   

2. Use button instead of link_to to

   = button_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete)
   

   With button_to Rails will do the heavy lifting on making the proper DELETE call. You can
   then style the button to look like a link if you wish.

3. In your routes.rb

   devise_for :members do
     get '/members /sign_out' => 'devise/sessions#destroy'
   end
   

Rails Devise Gem Sign_Out Fails to sign out

undefined method `sign_out_via_get_because_of=' for Devise:Module

(NoMethodError)

There is no sign_out_via_get_because_of helper for devise. There is only sign_out_via

uninitialized constant UsersController

You don't have users_controller.rb under app/controllers, so is the error.

#app/controllers/users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController
end

For "sign_out_via" what exactly should I type?

It depends on the method parameter in your link_to. If it is :method => :delete then config.sign_out_via = :delete else config.sign_out_via = :get.

By convention should I run Rails g controller User or Rails g
controller Users?

You should run rails g controller Users
