Trouble Getting Routing Tests to Pass

Question

I'm at the end of "Deleting Todo Lists" in "Build a Todo List Application with Rails 4". I've just updated the todo_lists_controller_spec, as advised...

let(:valid_attributes) { { "title" => "MyString", "description" => "My Description"} }

...and run

bin/rake spec

This got rid of many of my errors. However, I still have 7 failures:

41 examples, 7 failures, 2 pending

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:6 # TodoListsController routing routes to #index
rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:10 # TodoListsController routing routes to #new
rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:18 # TodoListsController routing routes to #edit
rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:30 # TodoListsController routing routes to #destroy
rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:22 # TodoListsController routing routes to #create
rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:26 # TodoListsController routing routes to #update
rspec ./spec/routing/todo_lists_routing_spec.rb:14 # TodoListsController routing routes to #show

I haven't changed the to_do_lists_routing_spec file at all. Navigating through the actual site itself, I don't see any errors with the routing.

require "spec_helper"

describe TodoListsController do
  describe "routing" do

    it "routes to #index" do
      get("/todo_lists").should route_to("todo_lists#index")
    end

    it "routes to #new" do
      get("/todo_lists/new").should route_to("todo_lists#new")
    end

    it "routes to #show" do
      get("/todo_lists/1").should route_to("todo_lists#show", :id => "1")
    end

    it "routes to #edit" do
      get("/todo_lists/1/edit").should route_to("todo_lists#edit", :id => "1")
    end

    it "routes to #create" do
      post("/todo_lists").should route_to("todo_lists#create")
    end

    it "routes to #update" do
      put("/todo_lists/1").should route_to("todo_lists#update", :id => "1")
    end

    it "routes to #destroy" do
      delete("/todo_lists/1").should route_to("todo_lists#destroy", :id => "1")
    end

  end
end

Any idea what's going wrong here?
