I'm trying to work out how devise controls sign outs in a rails 3 app. I look at the routes for destroy session and it's
destroy_hr_partner_session GET /hr_partners/sign_out(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"devise/sessions"}
However, I cannot find a devise controller, or a session controller for that matter.
Clearly I;m missing something, can someone explain how this works?
Specifically, I need to customise the redirect after a session is destroyed

It's not super obvious, but the controller is inside the devise gem. When you call devise_for in your routes.rb it sets those paths up for you.
For reference, here are the built-in controllers: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/tree/master/app/controllers/devise
As explained on the devise github page, to configure controllers you can create a controller that extends the devise ones and then override the functionality.
Then tell your devise route to use your new controller (devise_for :users, controllers: { sessions: "my_sessions" })
To see what the base functionality is, explore the source.
Devise already has a controlller compiled in the gem, but if you want to override it, then you can just create a controller. For more information, please have a look at this:
