I wanted to add some custom fields to devise authentication, so I followed a tutorial and did some changes. I unpacked the devise gem, added the fields to the views, and devise controller. I added the fields "first_name" and "last_name" to my users table. The changes didn't work. So I didn't want to spend much time on that, so I wanted to move on, I removed all the code I added to the devise gem sourcecode, created a migration to remove first_name, and last_name from users. Everything looked fine, I can move about on the site and everything. But as soon as I try to sign out, I get this error: enter image description here In the command line, the error also says "can't verify CSRF token auhtenticity"

This is the code I have in my layout view navbar for the user to sign out:

    <% if user_signed_in? %>
        <li><%= link_to "Sign out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %></li>
    <%else%>
        <li> 
            <%= link_to "sign up" , new_user_registration_path %>
        </li>
        <li>
            <%= link_to "Log in", new_user_session_path%>
        </li>
    <%end%>

I restarted the server and all that. The user is still signed in. I can't do anything to sign out. Is there a way to fix this?

  • Can we see the code for your sign out button? – OneNeptune Jun 03 '17 at 23:21

  • Firstly, there was no need to unpack the the gem and manipulate it..there are very simple ways available to `override` views and controllers of devise..try going your last commit (without devise) create new branch and bundle the gem..fresh start. – Md. Farhan Memon Jun 04 '17 at 07:30

To destroy a user session in devise, you have to do the following:

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

the hash ':method' will trigger delete action and sign the user out and destroy current session. Make sure your pointing to your "destroy_user_session_path", or the path you specified. You should be able to see what the name of the path is by using "rails routes" or "rake routes" command depending on what version of rails you're using.

Hope this helps.
