Description

I've noticed this logout() method raises KeyError when I'm not authenticated.

I'm not sure it's a bug, but in my opinion it should fail silently. Catch the exception would solve it.

This is indeed a problem. If you log in and then log out, logout() doesn't cause an error. Only when you have never logged in and try to log out.

Attached is a simple testcase and a one line fix to the logout() function simple checking to see if that key exists before trying to delete it.

(In [10228]) Fixed #9978 -- Fixed a KeyError exception that was being raised when using the logout method on the test client on an unauthenticated user, based on patch from ericholscher.
