%li = link_to 'Features', features_path, :class => ('active' if params[:action] == 'features')
  • Remove the trailing %li.
  • I also turned class into a symbol and prepended it with a comma.

Edit:

To add the class to the %li tag, try this: 

%li{:class => (params[:action] == 'features' ? 'active' : nil)}
  = link_to 'Features', features_path
