devise admin logging out error

Question

i had an issue with devise. whenever i try to log out as an admin with devise, i get the following error

No route matches [GET] "/admins/sign_out"

doing rake routes, i see it has

destroy_admin_session DELETE /admins/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy

and in my views i call it as...

<%= link_to  "sign out as admin", destroy_admin_session_path %>

am i supposed to override the admins controller for devise? it seems strange to me that i can go to... /admins/sign_in. however, going to /admins/sign_out doesn't work.

i created the admin using the admin model format.

did anyone else experience this issue as an admin in devise?

thanks

It looks like the sign out URL requires DELETE HTTP method.

<%= link_to  "sign out as admin", destroy_admin_session_path, method: :delete %>

would work.
