Undefined method when logging out of an account

I am working on a login/logout system, however I am having difficulty actually logging out and destroying sessions. I am getting "NoMethodError in SessionsController#destroy", an undefined method for my "forget" method.

Here are my methods in my sessions helper.

def forget(user)
    User.forget
    cookies.delete(:user_id)
    cookies.delete(:remember_token)
  end

  def log_out
    current_user && forget(current_user)
    session.delete(:user_id)
    @current_user = nil
  end

And my sessions controller:

  def destroy
    log_out if logged_in?
    redirect_to_root_url
  end

Here's my logout link in cass I made some mistake here:

<%= link_to "Log Out", logout_path, method: :delete, class: "dropdown-item" %>

I tried passing current_user to the forget method but that didn't change anything.

In your def forget(user) method, you are calling User.forget and not user.forget. It looks like forget is intended to be an instance method and not a class method, which is how you’re calling it.
