Your route's path needs to include an "id" URL parameter.

I think the resource above might help you.

A Rails Route includes a few basic parts and I think you are confusing one of them.

A METHOD (GET, POST, etc) A PATH ('/url-address/') A CONTROLLER + ACTION (to: 'pets#show') An ALIAS (as: 'pet')

An ID param would aid you in getting to the individual pet show. I am not exactly sure what the test wants but maybe

get '/pet/:id', to: 'pets#show', as: 'pet'
