I'm using Cucumber (0.6.3), Cucumber-Rails (0.3.0), Webrat (0.7.0), and Rails (2.3.5) for some tests. The following scenario passes just fine:

Scenario: load one page
  Given I am on the home page
  Then I should see "Welcome"

The following, however, fails:

Scenario: load two pages
  Given I am on the FAQ pag
  When I go to the home page
  Then I should see "Welcome"

The problem is that the second @response.body is blank. I added a Rack middleware to get a little more information:

class LogEachRequest
  def initialize(app); @app = app; @count = 0; end
  def call(env)
    puts "Processing request # #{@count += 1)"
    @app.call(env)
  end
end

It shows me only one request processed. That is, it only ever prints out

Processing request # 1
