Rails 4 Routing No route matches [GET] "/help" - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have no idea what mistake I've made this is so basic:
Localhost:3000 works as my root, but if I put localhost:3000/help I get the following error:
Started GET "/help" for 127.0.0.1 at 2016-02-09 17:11:37 -0500

Here is my routes.rb:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'static_pages#home'
get 'static_pages/help'
get 'static_pages/about'
end
I have the file help.html.erb under views/static_pages, below are the file contents:
<% provide(:title, "Help") %>
<h1>StaticPages#help</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/static_pages/help.html.erb</p
Here is my controller:
class StaticPagesController < ApplicationController
def home
end
def help
end
end
This is about as basic as a rails app gets. I don't know what I've done, but if you can see the typo or wherever I have made a mistake please let me know. Thanks

Your syntax is off a bit.
You have:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'static_pages#home'
get 'static_pages/help'
get 'static_pages/about'
end
It should be:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'static_pages#home'
get 'help' => 'static_pages#help'
get 'about' => 'static_pages#about'
end
You can see the relevant rails documentation on this at this link
