Why I still can use Capybara method inside Rails Rspec Type Request

Question

According to Rspec Request Specs

Capybara is no longer supported in request specs as of Capybara 2.0.0.

Why I still can use Capybara methods from inside Request specs; such as visit, click_link, click_button?

My related Gemfile.lock entries:

capybara (~> 2.15.1)
rspec-rails (~> 3.5, >= 3.5.2)

Most likely because you’re including `Capybara::DSL into all of your test types. Check your code for something like

RSpec.configure do |config|
  ...
   config.include Capybara::DSL # includes into every type of test
  ...

and remove the include line, it should already be correctly configured by requiring ‘capybara/rspec’.
