before_filter :except a devise action not working

Every new user must accept the EULA in order to use the service provided by my RoR application, so when the user first time logs in to my website, s/he has to accept the EULA, if s/he does NOT want to accept, s/he can just logout, so:

I have a before_filter in my ApplicationController with an :except action:

before_filter :check_eula, :except => [:destroy]

And there is link on my EULA page:

<%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete, :class => link_class) %>

And I'm using Devise: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb

destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out                   {:controller=>"devise/sessions", :action=>"destroy"}

The problem is that, it seems the :check_eula is still called when the user clicks the "Logout" link without accepting the EULA.

I don't know why the following is working, but here is the solution:

In config/application.rb:

config.to_prepare do
  # ...

  Devise::SessionsController.skip_before_filter :check_eula, :only => [:destroy]
end
