The book says "these examples use Webrat" and you choose Capybara (a perfectly
good option, but not for the examples in the book). Not sure who is lying to
you, but it is not the book :)
Webrat works fine for all of the examples in the book. I'd recommend using it
to go through the book to get the feel for the process.
Also, Capybara's matchers are not available in view specs or helper specs (see
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/closed#issue/242).
