I can't sign out from inside a partial

Question

I'm using devise and I'm struggling to log out from inside a partial.

<%= link_to "Bye", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete %>

That's the code. I have exactly the same code on the homepage and it works.

I get this error:

No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out"

just curious, from inside that partial can you check the current user? `<% if user_signed_in? %>` — , Mar 21 '13 at 19:33
Yes. That's something I do inside the same partial, and it works. — ItsJoeTurner, Mar 21 '13 at 19:39
Check the code for that link to make sure that your `:method => :delete` is working because the error is stating your code called it as via `GET`, what won't work — , Mar 21 '13 at 19:46
Have you tried `destroy_user_session_url` instead of `.._path`? — ted, Mar 21 '13 at 20:08

I'm assuming this is not a problem with it being in a partial. If you look closely, you are setting the method => delete, but yet it's calling a GET method rather than a DELETE method and the GET method does not exist.

If i remember correctly you need to have this in your layout.

<%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %>

Just about to write the same solution. :) – Sagar Bommidi Mar 21 '13 at 19:47
Then check your devise initializer. There is a config in there about signout being either GET or DELETE. It should be one of the UN-commented ones. – Catfish Mar 21 '13 at 19:58
I have changed the way it works to GET but I feel like I'm just avoiding the problem a little bit. – ItsJoeTurner Mar 21 '13 at 20:12
Yea that is not the ideal solution. So if you take this snippet of code out of your partial, you are able to logout just fine? – Catfish Mar 21 '13 at 20:16
I can log out, just not from that partial. Bizzare. – ItsJoeTurner Mar 21 '13 at 20:31
