:frowning: per https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/blob/52de86da8d99c4749a143e18423f956f9c57d424/features/support/capybara.rb#L2-L5

Digging into this it seems that after Capybara 2.0.3 [support for Ruby 1.9.2 was dropped](https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/1049). Thus, the feature spec covering this never ran.

From what I understand, rspec-rails 2.12+ moved to Capybara 2.0 for feature specs; and no longer uses is for request specs.

This means for 1.8.7, this will only apply to the case where request specs are using Capybara < 2.0. This version still defines the same public API, so I guess we still need to support this edge condition.
