Unable to destroy session using Devise in Rails

Question

Noob here building my first Rails 4.0 app using Devise. Set up my controller and routes using the standard Devise tactics.

Rake Routes shows:

destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format)   devise/sessions#destroy

In my Nav, my code is:

<%= link_to "Sign Out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :destroy, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>

I'm running the Guard gem so my server is always on, so I know it's not a mismatch b/w my routes and the server. I still get the following error:

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

Any suggestions? Thanks all!

Guard won't pick up new changes if you've added a gem like devise since you started it. Have you restarted Guard? — nickcoxdotme, Apr 11 '14 at 00:19

You probably need to change the method (http verb) option to delete:

<%= link_to "Sign Out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>

Check in config/initializers/devise.rb and make sure this is set:

config.sign_out_via = :delete

Also, in the view I have this and works just fine:

<%= link_to 'Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method=>'delete' %>
