Folder structure when using spec-rails with Capybara

[Javix]

It seems to be a little strange, as if it misses something in setup instructions for spec-rails and capybara.

I tried to use the following 2 versions (here is an extract from the RoR Gemfile):

group :development, :test do

  gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.13.0"

end

group :test do

  gem 'capybara', '~> 2.0.2'

  gem 'database_cleaner', '~> 0.9.1'

  gem 'launchy', '~> 2.2.0'

end

As advised at Capybara site, I added the following 2 lines to spec_helper.rb file:

If you are using Rails, add this line to your test helper file:

require 'capybara/rails'

Load RSpec 2.x support by adding the following line (typically to your spec_helper.rb file):

require 'capybara/rspec'

Then, as it is said at Capybara:

If you are using Rails, put your Capybara specs in spec/features.

So if I put the specs as I had before in my spec/requests folder in spec/features it works.

But it fails to find Capybara 'visit' method if I leave the spec in spec/requests folder:

StaticPages

  Home page

    example at ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:10 (FAILED - 1)

    example at ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:11 (FAILED - 2)

Failures:

  1) StaticPages Home page 

     Failure/Error: before { visit '/static_pages/home' }

     NoMethodError:

       undefined method `visit' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1:0x007fb4ffc60d70>

     # ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:8:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

  2) StaticPages Home page 

     Failure/Error: before { visit '/static_pages/home' }

     NoMethodError:

       undefined method `visit' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1:0x007fb4ff85e100>

     # ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:8:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.01803 seconds

2 examples, 2 failures

Any ideas? So no more possible to have the 'old' RSpec structure with separate controllers, requests... folders ?

Thanks you.
