Why doesn't my delete link work in Google Chrome?

Question

I just upgraded to rails 3.2.8 and devise 2.1.2, totally wiping my User model to use the new migration and setup. I kept my old views though and started to test my user link to destroy/delete their own account. Now I tested this in Firefox and it works with out error, bringing up the confirm box and deleting the account if confirmed. In Google Chrome though I get no confirm box and it goes straight to:

Routing Error
No route matches [GET] "/users"

This is my link as it should be:

  Unhappy? <%= link_to "Delete my account", registration_path(resource_name), :data => { :confirm => "Are you sure?" }, :method => :delete %>.

Anyone else have this madness? Why does it not work for this browser?

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you delete all cookies related to your project in Chrome and start again with a fresh sign up? — Abram, Aug 31 '12 at 03:39
@Abram That didn't work either. Maybe it's a development thing. I'll try it in production soon. — LearningRoR, Sep 02 '12 at 15:02
Do you have a public github for this.. please link it for me, and I'll troubleshoot it for you — Abram, Sep 05 '12 at 10:42

You should see:

edit_user_registration   GET    /users/edit(.:format)            devise/registrations#edit
                         PUT    /users(.:format)                 devise/registrations#update
                         DELETE /users(.:format)                 devise/registrations#destroy

when you run "rake routes" while in the project directory.

Try changing "user_registration_path" to "edit_user_registration_path"

Did you put: <%= link_to "Delete my account", edit_user_registration_path(resource_name), :data => { :confirm => "Are you sure?" }, :method => :delete %> – Abram Sep 02 '12 at 19:58
Yeah that's what it did. Still need to see what happens in production. – LearningRoR Sep 04 '12 at 00:04
So I used it in production and it says the address is wrong or in others it doesn't work. – LearningRoR Sep 04 '12 at 15:42

Had to change my routes to be correct.

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 'registrations' }
  devise_scope :user do
    get 'join' => 'devise/registrations#new', :as => :new_user_registration
    put 'join' => 'devise/registrations#create', :as => :user_registration
    get 'login' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :new_user_session
    post 'login' => 'devise/sessions#create', :as => :user_session
    delete 'logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', :as => :destroy_user_session
    get 'account_settings' => 'devise/registrations#edit', :as => :edit_user_registration
    put 'account_settings' => 'devise/registrations#update', :as => :update_user_registration
    get 'forgot_password' => 'devise/passwords#new', :as => :new_user_password
    get 'user', :to => 'user_pages#home', :as => :user_root
  end

  match '/user' => 'user_pages#home', :as => :user_root

and also add to the list:

delete 'join' => 'devise/registrations#destroy', :as => :user_registration

It could have also been that I redid my whole application from scratch.
