Answer 1

You can end a session via get by changing the devise configuration in initializers.

# The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete.
config.sign_out_via = :get

Just open the link and your session is removed.

Answer 2

Using Rails4, I had to use the following method:

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

Emphasis on where the colons are on method: and :delete

Answer 3

//= require jquery_ujs

You are missing this line in your assets. There's no need to get /users/signout request. Put this line into JavaScript file at very top of the page.

Answer 4

I had a similar problem. My view code was like this:

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

After adding the following change to routes.rb it worked,

devise_for :users

devise_scope :user do  
   get '/users/sign_out' => 'devise/sessions#destroy'     
end

Answer 5

Just use the following for your sign out link:

<%= link_to "Sign out", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %>

Answer 6

Although I don't know the cause, the reason why you are getting that message is because in your routes you have

destroy_member_session DELETE /members/sign_out(.:format)      {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}

Which means that route is only available with the DELETE method as opposed to GET. This is a bit weird since in the docs for devise it says that it should create it as GET route (https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb#L30)

With it as a DELETE route, you should be able to logout using

link_to :logout, destroy_member_session_path, :method => :delete
