LogoutView.as_view() no longer works in 5.0

[otonoton]

I'm having the same issue as #35013. I have in my urls.py:

path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view()),

but since GET support was removed for LogoutView, this no longer works. Is this a regression, or what is the correct way to handle this?

Duplicate of #35013.

Please don't open duplicates and check ​release notes.

I don't consider it a duplicate because URL path entries do not specify a request method. Please don't just immediately close my ticket without at least attempting to communicate with me first.

Then provide any details and follow our ​bug reporting guidelines. I don't think you've explained the issue in enough detail to confirm a bug in Django.

What do you mean? How could we understand what you're trying to report? The ticket description shows that it's a duplicate. LogoutView implements post() and release notes describe precisely that you should use POST requests.

How am I supposed to use LogoutView in urls.py now? i.e. without any other explicit view or template being defined (just like how it used to work)

I think there is not proper documentation of the possible subtle breakages of this change and surely it will affect many people who will be upgrading soon.

If you would like to continue supporting logout via GET, you could copy LogoutView from Django 4.2 and use that in your project.
