use of capybara in controller specs

In RSpec 2.x, capybara's DSL was automatically available in controller
specs. In RSpec 3.x, capybara is no longer available in controller specs
automatically.

To continue using capybara's DSL in controller specs, include
Capybara::DSL explicitly.

Scenarios

Capybara::DSL methods are available, but raise deprecation warnings

Given

a file named "spec/controllers/widgets_controller_spec.rb" with:

require "spec_helper"

describe WidgetsController do
  describe "GET index" do
    it "says 'Listing widgets'" do
      expect(RSpec).to receive(:deprecate)
      visit "/widgets"
    end
  end
end

When

I run rspec spec

Then

the examples should all pass
