Feature: Google Analytics Tracking
Scenario: Reading land line contract
Given I am on the "/contracts/land-line" page
And I scroll to the bottom
Then GA should get an event {"Contract", "scrollToEnd", "landLine"}
Raw
google_analytics.rb
Given /^I am on the "([^"]*)" page$/ do |path|
visit "http://localhost:4567/#{path}?google-analytics-debug"
end
When /^I scroll to the bottom$/ do
page.execute_script "window.scrollBy(0,100000)"
end
Then /^GA should get an event {"([^"]*)", "([^"]*)", "([^"]*)"}$/ do |category, action, value|
ga_pushes.should include(["_trackEvent", category, action, value])

Looks like you're missing this support file, which is mentioned in the blog post:

def ga_pushes
  ga_pushes = []
  all('#google-analytics-debug li').each do |li|
    ga_pushes << JSON.parse(li.text)
  end
  ga_pushes
end
