"No route matches" error?

Testing RSpec
1

I am new Rspec and just started by generating a new controller on
Rails 3. It generates some Rspec tests by default. I have a question
about how to make them pass though. As it stands, I see this test in
my terminal"

  1. BuildingsController GET ‘show’
    should be successful
 Failure/Error: get 'show'
 No route matches {:controller=>"buildings", :action=>"show"}
 # ./spec/controllers/buildings_controller_spec.rb:17:in `block (3 levels)

in <top (required)>’

However, I don’t understand why it’s coming up because I already have
this route created (“resources :buildings”), and I ran rake routes
and made sure it’s there.

building GET /buildings/:id(.:format) {:action=>“show”,
:controller=>“buildings”}

What is necessary to make this pass? Here is the test by the way:

  describe "GET 'show'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'show'
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

You need to pass :id param as well to get the route recognized:

   describe "GET 'show'" do
     it "should be successful" do
       get 'show', :id =>  '55'
       response.should be_success
     end
   end

building = Building.create!
get ‘show’, :id => building.id

     response.should be_success
