Question

I have methodically been working thru the Agile Web Development with Rails book. No problems so far until I came across the development of logout using the sessions controller. I am simply trying to get the destroy method to work in the session controller. Here is what I have:

sessions_controller.rb

def destroy
  session[:user_id] = nil
   redirect_to store_url, :notice => "Logged out"
end

routes.rb

controller :sessions do
  get  'login' => :new
  post 'login' => :create
  delete 'logout' => :destroy
end

I reset the server and can login using localhost:3000/login BUT if i try localhost:3000/logout i get the following routing error: No route matches “/logout”

Any help is greatly appreciated as I have been digging thru the web trying to find a answer.

Answer 1

I believe

delete 'logout' => :destroy

should be

get 'logout' => :destroy

or

post 'logout' => :destroy

depending on how you are handling the behavior. Most likely you want get.
