It appears that Capybara’s handling of disabled elements has changed, so I figured I’d give an update.
To test whether a page has a button and is enabled, use:
expect(page).to have_button('Save')
To test whether a page has a button and is disabled, use:
expect(page).to have_button('Save', disabled: true)
This format works with has_field?
, find_field
, etc.

UPDATE
The old link is broken. This is the GitHub issue where the feature was discussed and this is the unfortunately barren documentation for the method.
