Rails / RSpec match a Rails match route

I am having some trouble writing a spec for some of my routes. I run into this problem with pretty much any rails match route. Here's the code:

in routes.rb

match "/:id" => "home#order"

in home_controller.rb

def order
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html { render :layout => 'order' }
  end
end

in home_controller_spec.rb:

it "should render the order layout" do
  get :order
  response.layout.should == 'layouts/order'
end

rake routes has:

/:id(.:format)                      {:controller=>"home", :action=>"order"}

However, the spec is throwing this exception:

  1) HomeController when not signed in should render the order layout
     Failure/Error: get :order
     ActionController::RoutingError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"home", :action=>"order"}

What am I doing wrong?

I think

get :order

would only work if you were using named routes. Try just

get "/1"
