Assets not loading during capybara / rspec spec

I use rspec, capybara and launchy to test my web application.

Here is my specification:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Routes" do
    describe "GET requests" do
        it "GET /root_path" do
            visit root_path
        page.should have_content("All of our statuses")
        click_link "Post a New Status"
        page.should have_content("New status")
        fill_in "status_name", with: "Jimmy balooney"
        fill_in "status_content", with: "Oh my god I am going insaaaaaaaaane!!!"
        click_button "Create Status"
        page.should have_content("Status was successfully created.")
        click_link "Statuses"
        page.should have_content("All of our statuses")
        page.should have_content("Jimmy balooney")
        page.should have_content("Oh my god I am going insaaaaaaaaane!!! ")
        save_and_open_page
        end
    end
end

My .rspec

--color
--order default

and my spec_helper.rb:

# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'

# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }

# Checks for pending migrations before tests are run.
# If you are not using ActiveRecord, you can remove this line.
ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending! if defined?(ActiveRecord::Migration)

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # ## Mock Framework
  #
  # If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
  #
  # config.mock_with :mocha
  # config.mock_with :flexmock
  # config.mock_with :rr
  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
    DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.start
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

  # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

  # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
  # examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
  # instead of true.
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

  # If true, the base class of anonymous controllers will be inferred
  # automatically. This will be the default behavior in future versions of
  # rspec-rails.
  config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false

  # Run specs in random order to surface order dependencies. If you find an
  # order dependency and want to debug it, you can fix the order by providing
  # the seed, which is printed after each run.
  #     --seed 1234
  config.order = "random"
end

If you look back at my specification, you will see the rspec specification, which uses capybara to view my application, and finishes by calling the launchy gem save_and_open_page method to open this last page in a browser for the person to be looked at. This last page, however, does not display javascript or css, but only pure HTML.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be? I want to test javascript and would prefer all assets to be loaded.
