Here is hackish solution that i found

# spec/features/user_confirmation_feature.rb

feature 'User confirmation' do
  scenario 'provide confirmation and redirect' do
    visit "/users/123/confirm"

    expect(page).to have_content('Please enter the confirmation code')
    find("input[id$='confirmation_code']").set '1234'

    do_not_follow_redirect do
      click_button('Verify')
      expect(page.driver.status_code).to eq(302)
      expect(page.driver.browser.last_response['Location']).to match(/\/en\//[^\/]+\/edit$/)
    end
  end

  protected

  # Capybara won't follow redirects
  def do_not_follow_redirect &block
    begin
      options = page.driver.instance_variable_get(:@options)
      prev_value = options[:follow_redirects]
      options[:follow_redirects] = false

      yield
    ensure
      options[:follow_redirects] = prev_value
    end
  end
end
