Rails 4 + Omniauth + Devise: Logout link not working

Question

I'm using Omniauth as my only method for signing into my Rails application.

The issue is: When a user clicks "Logout", the page reloads and the Logout link is still there (despite if user_signed_in? logic wrapping it). Which leads me to believe that users aren't actually getting logged out

Here's my index.html.erb:

<% if user_signed_in? %>
  <%= link_to "Authenticate with Google", user_omniauth_authorize_path(:google_oauth2) %>
<% else %>
  <%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete) %>
<% end %>

And my user.rb

def self.from_omniauth(auth)
  if user = User.find_by_email(auth.info.email)
    user.provider = auth.provider
    user.uid = auth.uid
    user
  else
    where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user|
      user.provider = auth.provider
      user.uid = auth.uid
      user.email = auth.info.email # THIS (user.email) value i want to provide to my registration form as default value
   end
  end
end

And my omniauth_callbacks_controller.rb:

class OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController 
  skip_before_filter :redirect_to_login_if_required
  def google_oauth2
    @user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])
    if @user.persisted?
      sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication
      return
    else
      session["devise.user_attributes"] = @user.attributes
      redirect_to new_user_registration_path
    end
  end
end

And my routes.rb:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :omniauth_callbacks => "omniauth_callbacks" }

Unfortunately it's not bringing me back an error. It's just refreshing the index page as if nothing happened.

Edit: Here's the POST when I click Logout

Edit 2: I've included this in my application_controller.rb

before_action :authenticate_user!

And now the error message I'm getting in the console is:

Answer 1

I would recommend switching the if to unless, so it shows the logout link when the user is signed in.

<% unless user_signed_in? %>
  <%= link_to "Authenticate with Google", user_omniauth_authorize_path(:google_oauth2) %>
<% else %>
  <%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete) %>
<% end %>

When using devise, an alternative way of displaying the corrects links is:

<%unless current_user.blank? -%>
  <%= link_to "Authenticate with Google", user_omniauth_authorize_path(:google_oauth2) %>
<%else -%>
  <%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete) %>
<%end-%>

Answer 2

From the logs you posted, you have

Filter chain halted as :verify_signed_out_user rendered or redirected

This is the reason for your problem.

Adding skip_before_filter :verify_signed_out_user to your controller should solve the problem.

Update:

You need to change your code in index.html.erb to the following

<% if user_signed_in? %>
  <%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete) %>
<% else %>
  <%= link_to "Authenticate with Google", user_omniauth_authorize_path(:google_oauth2) %>
<% end %>
