Rails routes entry to match any controller action

I want to have a test controller where I can easily add actions and have the router automatically recognize them. I'm able to create a routes entry that matches any controller action, (EXAMPLE 1) but can't figure out how to limit it to the test controller (EXAMPLE 2).

routes.rb:

# EXAMPLE 1: Match any generic controller actions (e.g. any_controller/any_action):
get ':controller/:action

# EXAMPLE 2: Match any test controller actions (e.g. test/any_action):
get 'test/:action'

The #2 example results causes a routing error:

routing/mapper.rb:229:in `default_controller_and_action': missing :controller (ArgumentError)

You could use it as below:

get 'test/:action', controller: :test

This will create the route as below:

 GET    /test/:action(.:format)           test#:action

This will match any test controller actions (e.g. test/any_action)

You should tell rails what shall happen with this route:

get ':controller/:action' => "office#show"
