Route to remove action from URL in CakePHP 3 not working

In my routes.php file, I've put this into Router::scope('/', function ($routes) {

$routes->connect( '/:controller/:id', ['action' => 'view'], ['id' => '[0-9]+'] );

However it does not seem to work? The URLs still go to players/view/1

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

From the book: book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/development/routing.html#route-elements (just below the code you may have cut-and-pasted):

CakePHP does not automatically produce lowercased and dashed URLs when using the :controller parameter. If you need this, the above example could be rewritten like so:

$routes->connect( '/:controller/:id', ['action' => 'view'], ['id' => '[0-9]+', 'routeClass' => 'DashedRoute'] );

...and then a little further down:

Once this route has been defined, requesting /apples/5 would call the view() method of the ApplesController. Inside the view() method, you would need to access the passed ID at $this->request->params['id'].

So in my (for example) ApplesController's view() method, I added the following at the very top:

if ($id == null) { $id = $this->request->params['id']; }

...and now apples/view/5 and apples/5 both work the same way.
