How to get Devise session timeout callback?

Is there a way to get a callback/ process some action when a user's session times out with Devise?

The plain old overriding the DeviseSessionsController doesn't work:

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController

  def destroy
    #do something
    super
  end

end

This only works when a user logs out, which makes sense since it doesn't seem like a controller is called on session timeout. Can someone help me out?

The issue is still up to date. The easiest solution I could muster for this is to override the timedout? method in the User model.

def timedout?(args)
    retval = super(args)
    if retval 
        # Do whatever you need to do here
    end 
    retval
end

record.timedout? gets called before signing out is trigger in the event of the timeout https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/blob/main/lib/devise/hooks/timeoutable.rb#L27C5-L27C5

I found that doing Warden.before_logout was the best solution:

# app/models/user.rb

Warden::Manager.before_logout do |user, auth, opts|
  #fdsafdsafdsa
end

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with pure Devise.

before_filter :destroy_custom, :only => [ :destroy ]


def destroy_custom 
    # Do your thang
end

I was able to do this on new method. I am guessing it is possible to do the same with destroy as well. The callback could be called inside the devise_custom or devise_custom itself could be the method where you want to execute something before destroy.
