My experience implementing the feature tests was painful as warned. I gave it a solid three hours trying a variety of different things. I believe I have everything setup correctly in my rails helper and feature tests. I was so close to getting it to work; so I thought. I installed firefox and adjusted versions of the selenium gem. After getting everything setup correctly my current version of firefox is not working with the capybara selenium web driver. If I have time, I will have another go at it.

I was unsuccessful.

snippets:
module WaitForAjax
def wait_for_ajax
Timeout.timeout(Capybara.default_max_wait_time) do
loop until finished_all_ajax_requests?
end
end

def finished_all_ajax_requests?
  page.evaluate_script('jQuery.active').zero?
end

end

RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include WaitForAjax, type: :feature
end
config.before(:suite) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end

config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
end

config.before(:each, :js => true) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end

config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.start
end

config.after(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
