I'm currently doing this project " Generating the Devise Views". I try to signout using http://0.0.0.0:3000/users/sign_out but i always get a routing error. I tried to restart my server but i keep being logged in. What can i do to destroy my current session ? http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application/creating-an-authentication-system/generating-the-devise-views

4,198 PointsHello, I also have trouble signing out. I tried the route destroy_user_session by browsing to "0.0.0.0:3000/users/sign_out" the command line and I get the message: No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out" It won't let me sign out. Are we supposed to use any route created by devise without declaring it on the routes.rb? Thanks!

4,198 PointsThanks Guillaume, I'm also trying to find out why the 3 new fields: first_name, last_name and profile_user are not showing up even they are declared in the new.html.erb file. Did you get to see those fields?
Sergio Barrera
4,198 PointsYeap, I can continue working on it( if I destroy the user) but still won't sign_out: it says Routing error No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out"
The it prints out all the routes we have available.
Thanks for your help!

9,604 PointsWhen you're trying to send a request to sign out your browser is generating a GET request to rails. Rails though is waiting so called DELETE method. From the rake routes:
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroyThat is not common http request, rails POSTed it, but emulate this DELETE method by sending special parameter.I wasn't able to find a way how to do that in browser so I just put
<li><%= link_to "Sign out", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete %></li>into "nav" class <ul> and was able to sign out in any given moment. Hope it'll be helpful
