rspec users - Jan 2011 - "No route matches" error?

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"

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.

: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!
