Couldn't find User with id=sign_out

Question

Sign-out link isn\'t working in my rails application.

I have checked my routes.rb which is listed below and my application.html.erb looks to follow the right path.

Answer 1

You need to move:

devise_for :users do get '/users/sign_out' => 'devise/sessions#destroy' 

over your devise_scope. Rails is looking for routes from top of Routes file. Your sign out url matches users/:id, hence it is trying to render show action with sign_out being an id.

UPDATE:

Actually, do you really need the last line in your devise_scope block?

Answer 2

This worked for me

#form 

<%= link_to(destroy_user_session_path, {:class => "nav-link", :method => :delete}) do  %>
      <span class="sidebar-normal"> Logout </span>
<% end %>

#routes

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

Answer 3

Since non of the other answers worked, I found that you could change the base path for every Devise endpoint as described here. So, what I did was to user devise_for on routes.rb:

devise_for :users,
         path: 'devise'

Then, all my Devise routes started with devise instead of users so the conflict was gone.

Answer 4

None of this solutions worked for me. Also it happens just in development mode for me... I fixed it by adding

  if params[:id] = "sign_out"
    sign_out current_user
    return
  end

in the set user function. Not the prettiest solution but it works...

Answer 5

If you are calling /users/sign_out directly from the URL it won't work because the routes is:

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

id est, it uses the DELETE method. You need to change your devise initializer to:

config.sign_out_via = :get

other option would be to create a small form and its button with DELETE as method.

Answer 6

I had the same issue. My routes were in the correct order, the link_to method was properly used, and Rails kept triggering the users/:id route with :id => :sign_out. I figured out that was because I removed jquery_ujs from my application.js file...

jquery_ujs handles the data-method attribute in the links (generated by link_to when you use the method option), which is used to determine the correct route as explained here: https://thoughtbot.com/blog/a-tour-of-rails-jquery-ujs

So just make sure the you have the following included in your application.js:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
