"No route matches" with rspec - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

I've got a controller test set running where three of the tests succeed and three fail with the same type of error.
For the tests for the edit, update, and destroy actions, I get the associated error saying No route matches {:controller=>"accounts", action=>"edit"}
accounts_controller_spec.rb
describe AccountsController do
before(:each) do
#account_code = FactoryGirl.create(:account)
end
describe "GET 'index'" do
it "returns http success" do
get 'index'
expect(response).to be_success
end
end
describe "GET 'new'" do
it "returns http success" do
get 'new'
expect(response).to be_success
end
end
describe "POST 'create'" do
it "returns http success" do
post 'create'
expect(response).to be_success
end
end
describe "GET 'edit'" do
it "returns http success" do
get 'edit'
expect(response).to be_success
end
end
describe "POST 'update'" do
it "returns http success" do
post 'update'
expect(response).to be_success
end
end
describe "DELETE 'destroy'" do
it "returns http success" do
post 'destroy'
expect(response).to be_success
end
end
end
accounts_controller.rb
class AccountsController < ApplicationController
load_and_authorize_resource
def index
end
def new
end
def create
if #account.save
flash[:success] = "Account created"
redirect_to :action => :index
else
render 'new'
end
end
def update
if #account.update_attributes(params[:account])
flash[:success] = "Account Updated"
redirect_to :action => :index
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def edit
end
def destroy
#account.destroy
flash[:success] = "Account Deleted"
redirect_to accounts_path
end
end
routes.rb
resources :account_codes

I see two errors here
you do not use the correct verbs for destroy and update, you should use 'delete' for destroy and 'put' for update
you do not provide an 'id' for these actions, you should use get :edit, id: 1 , put :update, id: 1 ...
try running rake routes to see your exact routes
PS: I think you would get the same error for a show action as well. If you do not need that action, pass it in as except: :show in your resources on routes.rb
