How to view screenshot in terminal with rspec and rails 5.1

I am following this tutorial to test system specs with rails 5.1. If I deliberately fail a test, I get the following output in the terminal

 WARN: Screenshot could not be saved. `page.current_path` is empty.
    F


  Failures:

      1) Homepage shows greeting
         Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content 'Hello Worlds'
           expected to find text "Hello Worlds" in "Hello World"

         [Screenshot]: tmp/screenshots/failures_r_spec_example_groups_homepage_shows_greeting_506.png



         # ./spec/spec/system/home_spec.rb:10:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

The file specified for the screenshot exists, but the screen shot is not shown in the terminal. I can open the screen shot manually, so it is being generated correctly.

If I type chromedriver --version I get

ChromeDriver 2.35.528157 (4429ca2590d6988c0745c24c8858745aaaec01ef)

and I am using version 63.0.3239.132 of Chrome.

How do I get the screenshots to open in terminal on Mac OSX?

Screenshot display depends on what kind of terminal you use and RAILS_SYSTEM_TESTING_SCREENSHOT environment variable.

For build-in terminal:

ENV['RAILS_SYSTEM_TESTING_SCREENSHOT'] = 'artifact'

For iTerm2:

ENV['RAILS_SYSTEM_TESTING_SCREENSHOT'] = 'inline'
