I'm not sure where the issue is yet (most likely rspec), but I was able to see it by cloning your repo and running the specs.

I was able to get things to work by moving "include Rack::Test::Methods" into the configure block:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Rack::Test::Methods
  ...
end

You should _not_, however, have to do any such thing, so I'll look into it and if I can address this in rspec-rails I will and have a bug-fix release out soon.

Thanks!

David
