Expressjs passport-local can't logout

I copy pasted the app passport-local on my app,

The fun is I can log in users, but I can't make them logout,

app.get('/logout', function(req, res){
  req.logout();
  res.redirect('/');
});

this is not doing nothing, nothing on the logfiles, and I I have its a link to /logout

this is the main route examples

app.get('/page1', function(req, res){                                                                                                                       
  res.render('page1', {user: req.user});
});

app.get('*', function(req,res){
  res.render('root', {user: req.user});
});

Why the logout its not working ????

Apparently this is a known problem:

Why is PassportJS in Node not removing session on logout

The thread mentioned above suggests to use req.session.destroy() instead.

It would be nice to have some feedback from the Passport team directly.
