The test was hanging sometimes on my machine, probably because we weren't making sure the request submitting the form had finished before visiting a new page. In theory the spec should have been fine from a technical point of view: since submitting the form generates a regular HTTP request (and not an AJAX one), Capybara/Selenium/Chromedrive should wait until the request is finished. But that doesn't seem to be the case 100% of the time; maybe conditions change depending on previous tests. On the other hand, from a design point of view, the spec wasn't that fine. The main purpose of system specs is to test the way users interact with our application, and users don't click a button and immediately visit a different page. Instead, most users wait until they receive feedback of their actions, and then they visit a different page. Of course some users might visit another page without waiting. What happens then cannot be predicted (it will depend on which request is handled first), and so there's no point in writing a test for this case unless there's a specific concurrency issue we'd like to check.
