Testing Routes with Rspec in Rails 3

Question

I have a form that is suppose to be a POST to CREATE action but it is doing a POST to INDEX action. So i then decided to test my routes with rspec. In my Example i have my test as follows.

it "should recognize a specific invoices#create route" do
  assert_routing("/invoices", {:controller => "invoices", :action => "create"})
end

but when i run the test its coming up with this error.

1) InvoicesController on get to :index should recognize a specific invoices#create route
 Failure/Error: assert_routing("/invoices", {:controller => "invoices", :action => "create"})
 The recognized options <{"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"invoices"}> did not match <{"controller"=>"invoices", "action"=>"create"}>, difference: <{"action"=>"create"}>.
 Expected block to return true value.

So im trying to figure out why my form is doing a POST on INDEX and why my test thinks im doing an index route. I have tried inserting :method => :post in the test but it doesnt seem to work.

Have you tried this?:

assert_routing({ :path => "invoices", :method => :post }, 
  { :controller => "invoices", :action => "create" })
