Opening a new tab in Capybara / Poltergeist

Right, as of Feb 5th 2014 and v1.6 of poltergeist, you can do this, as ...

@session.click_on "link_with_target _blank"

@session.switch_to_window(@session.windows.last)
#Do whatever you're doing
@session.current_window.close
@session.switch_to_window(@session.windows.first)

Hope that clears things up for somebody...

I did this with

page.switch_to_window(page.windows[0])

Maybe that's useful to someone.
