The action could not be found for a controller. But it's present

I have this sessions_controller.rb

class SessionsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :login_joomla_user_or_redirect

  def create
    session[:joomla_user_id] = params[:joomla_user_id]
    redirect_to root_path
  end

  def destroy
    session[:joomla_user_id] = nil
    redirect_to root_path
  end

end

And a basic route

unless Rails.env.production?
   get "login_as/:joomla_user_id" => "sessions#create", :as => :login
   get "logout"                   => "sessions#destroy"
end

I cannot understand why when I try to login with the route the browser return to me:

The action 'create' could not be found for SessionsController

The action is there. Why? I'm migrating this code from Rails 4.2 to Rails 6

Solution: replace max skip_before_filter that is deprecated with skip_before_action I don't know why Rails doesn't give another error.

You should make your create and destroy methods to a postand delete.

See ruby on rails use "create" method in controller as GET not working for a similar question.

See https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html for the official guide on routes.
