How to test multiple file upload using Cucumber/Capybara?

Question

I could test upload of one file

attach_file 'photo', File.join(Rails.root, 'public', 'uploads', 'test.png')

But what if I have a file field with multiple atribute? How can I test multiple files upload using Cucumber/Capybara?

HTML:

<input id="fileupload" class="photo-uploader" type="file" multiple="" name="images">

Capybara:

page.attach_file "images", ['path to file1.jpg', 'path to file2.jpg', 'path to file3.jpg']

Look for the name attribute of the <input> with type="file" and add it as the first parameter.
Add the path to the files as the second parameter. Refer to the statement given above. Do not use relative paths for uploading the file.

It seems it is currently not possible with Capybara:

This answer was correct at the time, but I think @user2391218 has the new correct answer.
