Devise conflicting with other routes using delete - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have these 2 routes that are conflicting in my application
destroy_users DELETE /users/:id(.:format) users#destroy
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy
the corresponding part of my routes file is as follows
match '/users/:id', to: 'users#destroy', :via => :delete, :as =>:destroy_users
devise_for :users
resources :users
When I try to destroy a session using the following link
<li><%= link_to "Sign out", destroy_user_session_path, method: "delete" %></li>
it tries to navigate to the following route
localhost:3000/users/sign_out
this is going to my UserController and trying to run the destroy method passing sign_out as a parameter rather than a route
Couldn't find User with id=sign_out
The first line in my routes file was to allow a single user to be deleted in the UserController, this is the destroy method. This had to be put before the devise_for otherwise it was trying to route to the edit_user_registration_path of devise using DELETE. Now it seems to be overwriting the devise destroy_user_session_path
I'm not sure how to fix this any advice would be appreciated

Answer 1

Typically, I would think devise_for :users creates the following routes
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
new_user_session GET /users/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#new
user_session POST /users/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#create
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy
user_password POST /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#create
new_user_password GET /users/password/new(.:format) devise/passwords#new
edit_user_password GET /users/password/edit(.:format) devise/passwords#edit
PATCH /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#update
PUT /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#update
cancel_user_registration GET /users/cancel(.:format) devise/registrations#cancel
user_registration POST /users(.:format) devise/registrations#create
new_user_registration GET /users/sign_up(.:format) devise/registrations#new
edit_user_registration GET /users/edit(.:format) devise/registrations#edit
PATCH /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
PUT /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
DELETE /users(.:format) devise/registrations#destroy
using your routes you get
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
destroy_users DELETE /users/:id(.:format) users#destroy <--- oops this should be below all the other routes
new_user_session GET /users/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#new
user_session POST /users/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#create
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy
user_password POST /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#create
new_user_password GET /users/password/new(.:format) devise/passwords#new
edit_user_password GET /users/password/edit(.:format) devise/passwords#edit
PATCH /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#update
PUT /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#update
cancel_user_registration GET /users/cancel(.:format) devise/registrations#cancel
user_registration POST /users(.:format) devise/registrations#create
new_user_registration GET /users/sign_up(.:format) devise/registrations#new
edit_user_registration GET /users/edit(.:format) devise/registrations#edit
PATCH /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
PUT /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
DELETE /users(.:format) devise/registrations#destroy
users GET /users(.:format) users#index
POST /users(.:format) users#create
new_user GET /users/new(.:format) users#new
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) users#edit
user GET /users/:id(.:format) users#show
PATCH /users/:id(.:format) users#update
PUT /users/:id(.:format) users#update
DELETE /users/:id(.:format) users#destroy <--- notice it typically would be
Deleting the first match route should help you... or you can move it below your resources :users. You should skip creating destroy with resources.
