RSpec 3 Error undefined method `get' in request test

After migration on RSpec 3 request test fails. Here is my test

describe 'GET /api/v1/activities' do
    let!(:user) { create(:user) }

    subject { json['activities'] }

   context 'when not authenticated' do
      let(:token) { user.authentication_token }
      let(:email) { '[email protected]' }
      before :each do
        get '/api/v1/activities', {}, {token: token, email: email}
      end
      it { expect(response).to_not be_success }
    end
end

Here is rspec log

Activities GET /api/v1/activities when not authenticated 
     Failure/Error: get '/api/v1/activities', {}, {token: token, email: email}
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `get' for #<RSpec::ExampleGroups::Activities::GETApiV1Activities::WhenNotAuthenticated:0x0000000becfaf8>

What can it be?

I already had infer_spec_type_from_file_location! set, but we still used the capybara feature syntax here, which probably sets the type to feature. Once I changed feature to describe, it worked.

Ok, migration to RSpec3 was the cause of this issue. I'd resolved it by migrating to RSpec 2.99.0 and I received a hint to add this code to my spec_helper 

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!
end

Now it works. Hurray!

Try to add helper to request specs. In spec_helper.rb:

config.include RSpec::Rails::RequestExampleGroup, type: :request

Also i assume that you have type: :request in you spec definition.
