Poltergeist doesn't load on feature spec, unless using js: true?

[oliverbarnes]

I've been discussing this on another issue, but it looks like it's a separate problem (perhaps something I'm doing wrong, too - but can't figure out what)

Using poltergeist from master, I'm only able to access its methods when passing js: true to feature specs:

scenario "Worst case", js: true do
...
end

Though I now know scenario() is supposed to not need the js flag.

Also, without it all requests are sent asking for HTML, not JS. But with it, I get strange behavior - steps to login using devise don't work, user factories are seen as invalid...

My config:

require 'capybara/poltergeist'

Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist

Also tried registering the driver:

require 'capybara/poltergeist'

Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
  Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, { debug: true, js_errors: true })
end

Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist

Does this make sense? Is this a bug, or am I missing something basic here?

You should use Capybara.default_driver = :poltergeist if you want all capybara specs to use Poltergeist. See the Capybara docs.
