Behat: Setting a file upload in form works only in single scenario

      As a workaround, you can use the following, horribler Behat steps that do it individually (4 steps instead of one, but not the end of the world):

          And I add a "File" to section "1"
      		 
          And I set the following fields to these values:
      		 
            | Name         | FileResource                  |
      		 
            | Description  | x                             |
      		 
          And I upload "/lib/tests/fixtures/empty.txt" file to "Select files" filemanager
      		 
          And I press "Save and return to course"

    Description

      The Behat step to set form fields for a Resource including the file to upload is:

          And I add a "File" to section "1" and I fill the form with:
      		 
            | Name         | FileResource                  |
      		 
            | Description  | x                             |
      		 
            | Select files | /lib/tests/fixtures/empty.txt |

      This works perfectly, when run in a single scenario. When you run another scenario previously, the step fails.

      To reproduce:

      1. Download the attached issue_test.feature file.
      2. Put this in the lib/tests/behat folder.
      3. Run behat init.
      4. Run behat with --tags=behatworks

      Observe that the scenario completes successfully.

      5. Run behat with --tags=behatbug

      Observe that the same scenario now fails, just by virtue of having another scenario run previously (which does nothing).

      (Tested on current master and 2.7.x.)
