No route matches error when route exists

Here's the code I'm testing:

before_action :set_location, only: [:show]
def create
    @location = Location.new( location_parameters )

    if @location.save
        redirect_to location_path(@location.id)
    else
        render action: :new, status: 422
    end
end

And here are my routes:

resources :locations

And here's the expectation:

before { request }
subject { response }

it{ should redirect_to controller: 'locations', action: 'show'}

And yet I'm getting this error that 'locations#show' doesn't exist, even though raking the routes shows that they do exist:

Failures:

  1) LocationsController#create response with valid request should redirect to [:controller, "locations"] and [:action, "show"]

Any reasons for this?

'show' action takes 'id' param

location GET    /locations/:id(.:format)      locations#show

Try something like

it{ should redirect_to controller: 'locations', action: 'show', id: <yourLocationObj>.id }

Or

it{ should redirect_to(assigns(:location)) }
