"type: :request" is used so that RSpec would include Watir-specific helpers
only into specs where they are actually needed (so-called
request/integration type specs) and not into every test (e.g. regular unit
tests, controller tests, model tests etc.).
You can remove that additional filter,

other related parts.
In terms of the debugging question, I
