'Rspec/Capybara: How to "expect to see Routing Error"?

How do I tell RSpec/Capybara to expect a RoutingError? The reason is I want users to click a link to "claim a plate" via PUT, not via GET/visiting the path.

Basically I want to expect ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches [GET] "/plates/claim/1".

  scenario 'they have to click the claim link' do
    create_plates
    sign_in_as_doctor
    visit claim_plate_path(@plates.first.id)
    ?????
  end

Try this

 scenario 'they have to click the claim link' do
    create_plates
    sign_in_as_doctor
    expect{visit claim_plate_path(@plates.first.id)}.to raise_error( ActionController::RoutingError)
  end

Accepted answer didn't work for me. What I had to do is:

create_plates
sign_in_as_doctor
expect do
  visit claim_plate_path(@plates.first.id)
  expect(page).to have_content("make sure visit is completed")
end.to raise_error(ActionController::RoutingError)
