Figured it out. Capybara::Session#has_text? hasn't yet been released. For now I'm just going right to GitHub gem 'capybara', git: 'https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara.git'

If you want to stick with capybara 1.1.2 (latest release, for now), use #has_content? instead. It is mostly the same, but will also successfully match on text which isn't visible.

page.should have_content "I'm a thing!"
