API route not found

I have an API in my code with a route prefix but when I try to hit it, I get a 404. This is my code:

namespace MyProject.Authentication.Controllers
{
    [RoutePrefix("api/user")]
    public class MyUserController : ApiController
    {
        private readonly IMyDomainService _myDomainService;

        public MyUserController()
        {
            _myDomainService = new MyDomainService();
        }

        [HttpGet]
        [HttpRoute("get/test")]
        public HttpResponseMessage Test()
        {
            return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "test success");
        }
    }
}

when I try to hit mysite.com/api/user/get/test I get a 404.

I checked AttributeRoutingHttpConfig.cs and this is what looks like, same as I have in other projects where the APIs work fine:

public static class AttributeRoutingHttpConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(HttpRouteCollection routes)
    {
        // See http://github.com/mccalltd/AttributeRouting/wiki for more options.
        // To debug routes locally using the built in ASP.NET development server, go to /routes.axd

        routes.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
    }

    public static void Start()
    {
        RegisterRoutes(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes);
    }
}

edit: this is in ASP.NET 4.5

Are you sure it should not be using the RouteAttribute to decorate the action rather than HttpRouteAttribute, you've not created that by using the intellisense to create a class with the name HttpRouteAttribute accidentally have you?
