Why do I get “including Capybara::DSL in the global scope is not recommended!”

Question

Everytime I run a spec, even if the spec passes, e.g.

$ rspec spec/integration/view_homepage_spec.rb 
including Capybara::DSL in the global scope is not recommen         


        

Answer 1

Because including Capybara::DSL in the global scope is not recommended.

This includes many methods globally in the system, which could interfere with your own code.

Here's the correct way:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Capybara::DSL, :type => :feature
end
