Found the solution, needed to add require 'capybara/rails'

So on top of spec_helper.rb I only had one call to Capybara, now it looks like this:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test' require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", FILE) require 'rspec/rails'

# To load Capybara integration:

require 'capybara/rspec' require 'capybara/rails'

I was going to do all videos again to see what I was missing glad I found it before all that :)
