I want to have different Capybara wait times in my code depending on how much time they usually take to load completely? Do I have to repetitively keep changing the Capybara.default_wait_time or is there a better way?

Thankfully, the Capybara developers have provided us with tools to get around this. Capybara's find method waits by default for an element to appear for a certain amount of time.
wait_until was removed for several reasons: It simply isn't necessary for most applications and test suites. Its existence confuses people into thinking that it is necessary, when in fact it isn't. It was added at a point where Capybara's auto-waiting was much more primitive than it is now.
You can use using_wait_time(seconds) method like:
using_wait_time 3 do expect(page).to have_text 'Lorem ipsum' end or :wait option (that appeared in Capybara 2.1).
Note that :wait option was supported only by find method in Capybara 2.1.
Support for :wait option in matchers (i.e. has_x? and have_x methods) has been added in Capybara 2.2:
expect(page).to have_text('Lorem ipsum', wait: 3) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
