Capybara Poltergeist failed to reach server

capybara's 

visit '/'

command is causing poltergeist driver to error: Capybara::Poltergeist::StatusFailError: Request to 'http://127.0.0.1:50142/' failed to reach server, check DNS and/or server status

The screenshot shows a rendered page.

I ruled out 

config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

causing the problem. The error happens whether true or false.

I don't have any 3rd party websites being loaded.

The first part of the test works. It's just the visit command causing the error.

it 'should have email input' do
    my_login_func
    expect(page).to have_selector("input[type=email]")

    visit '/'
end

I figured it out. When I switched my driver back to webkit instead of poltergeist. I got the error. I had an iframe on the page that wasn't loading.

Poltergeist didn't complain about it. Webkit did.
