[LRUG] redirect_to with additional parameters

[Will Tomlins]

No problem.  Re prev question, I was using cucumber to test that a link 
was redirecting through to a page with a query string:

When I follow "a link"
Then I should be on the search page with search terms "london"

And I was getting:

expected "/search?terms=london"
got "/search"

After a bit of hair pulling, I found out that the 'Then I should be on' 
step was removing the query string before testing the path.  This might 
have been changed in later versions of cucumber but I haven't tried.

I was just wondering if you were having the same issue... guess not.
