No route matches [GET] "/members/sign_out Devise

Question

I use rails 4.1.0 and Devise. I've setup devise on Member model class and when I click "log out" link as bellow:

<%= link_to "Log out", destroy_member_session_path, :method => :delete %> 

I get the following error only on production environment:

No route matches [GET] "/members/sign_out Devise

Note: I've precompiled my assets and include the following in my application.js file:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs             

Answer 1

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
   

Answer 2

In your routes.rb the order should be this

devise_for :members
resources :members

resources :members should come under devise_for :members
