ActiveAdmin setting config.logout_link_path cause undefined method error

I'm using ActiveAdmin gem. I want to add a logout link for the menu. So in ActiveAdmin's config file I wrote:

config.logout_link_path = :destroy_admin_user_session_path

And in my application_controller.rb I add a method:

  def destroy_admin_user_session_path
    session[:current_admin] = nil
    return "/"
  end

And back to the ActiveAdmin config I add the menu item:

  config.namespace :admin do |admin|
    admin.build_menu :defaut do |menu|
      admin.add_logout_button_to_menu menu, html_options: {target: :blank}
    end
  end

Then launch my app but when I visit the admin page I got an internal error:

undefined method `destroy_admin_user_session_path' for "        <ul class=\"header-item tabs\" id=\"utility_nav\"></ul>\n":ActiveAdmin::Views::TabbedNavigation

It seems that the symbol :destroy_admin_user_session_path is not send to my ApplicationController but something displayed as <ul class=\"header-item tabs\" id=\"utility_nav\"></ul>\n.

Why does this happen and how to fix it?

I suspect (there's not enough code to tell) that what you want is a view helper, not a controller method. This would allow you to use the method in your views, which is likely where the HTML it's reporting as the error source is.

Move your destroy_admin_user_session_path method to app/helpers/application_helper.rb and try again.

If you really want to keep your method in the controller, you can alternatively add helper_method :destroy_admin_user_session_path to the top of the ApplicationController class, which turns the method into a helper method available across controllers and views.
