Devise Log Out link won't post to DELETE, only GET, which doesn't work

I see lots of people posting about this same problem, but none of the answers have worked for me so far. Here's what I've got:

In application.html.erb:

<%= link_to 'Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete %>

Which produces the following HTML:

<a rel="nofollow" data-method="delete" href="/users/sign_out" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Logout</a>

Unfortunately this is linking to Users#Show instead of posting as a DELETE to Users/Sessions#Destroy as it is supposed to.

My config/routes.rb has:

devise_for :users, controllers: { sessions: 'users/sessions', registrations: 'users/registrations' }

resources :users, only: [:show, :edit, :update]

And rake routes returns:

          new_user_session GET    /users/sign_in(.:format)                 users/sessions#new
              user_session POST   /users/sign_in(.:format)                 users/sessions#create
      destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)                users/sessions#destroy
         new_user_password GET    /users/password/new(.:format)            devise/passwords#new
        edit_user_password GET    /users/password/edit(.:format)           devise/passwords#edit
             user_password PATCH  /users/password(.:format)                devise/passwords#update
                           PUT    /users/password(.:format)                devise/passwords#update
                           POST   /users/password(.:format)                devise/passwords#create
  cancel_user_registration GET    /users/cancel(.:format)                  users/registrations#cancel
     new_user_registration GET    /users/sign_up(.:format)                 users/registrations#new
    edit_user_registration GET    /users/edit(.:format)                    users/registrations#edit
         user_registration PATCH  /users(.:format)                         users/registrations#update
                           PUT    /users(.:format)                         users/registrations#update
                           DELETE /users(.:format)                         users/registrations#destroy
                           POST   /users(.:format)                         users/registrations#create
                 edit_user GET    /users/:id/edit(.:format)                users#edit
                      user GET    /users/:id(.:format)                     users#show
                           PATCH  /users/:id(.:format)                     users#update
                           PUT    /users/:id(.:format)                     users#update

So the link_to destroy_user_session_path with :method => :delete should work.

My application.js has:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require autocomplete-rails
//= require turbolinks
//= require skel.min
//= require_tree .

I also have the following in the <head> of application.html.erb:

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

These are all the suggested solutions that I have seen, but none of them work. The only other solution I have seen enables a GET method to logout, but I'd like to keep it RESTful if possible.

Any ideas?

For anyone running into this, check your developer console in the browser for any javascript errors. These delete requests are handled by a javascript controller and any errors will cause them to stop working.

Remove resources :users, only: [:show, :edit, :update] and try if log out works.

Then see this doc : How To: Define resource actions that require authentication using routes.rb

Hope it helps!
