Why won't this cucumber line parse?

I have the following simple cucumber step:

Given I submit "Father father father help us" in reply to "Where is the love?"    

I also already have the cucumber step:

Given /^I submit "([^"]*)" in reply to "([^"]*)"$/ do |reply, question|
  ...
end

Each time I run it though, the question mark at the end sends the parser wobbly and I get back the following:

You can implement step definitions for undefined ste开发者_Python百科ps with these snippets:

Given /^I submit "([^"]*)" in reply to Where is the love\?$/ do |arg1|
  pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
end

Why isn't this parsing correctly and what can I do to correct it?

I put a quick test together, and here's what i have. It works fine, all tests pass:

Feature: test

  Scenario:
    Given I submit "Father father father help us" in reply to "Where is the love?"
    When I do this
    Then I receive that


Given /^I submit "([^"]*)" in reply to "([^"]*)"$/ do |arg1, arg2|
  true
end

When /^I do this$/ do
  true
end

Then /^I receive that$/ do
  true
end

What version of cucumber are you using? Here's what i have in my Gemfile.lock

cucumber (1.0.2)
  builder (>= 2.1.2)
  diff-lcs (>= 1.1.2)
  gherkin (~> 2.4.5)
  json (>= 1.4.6)
  term-ansicolor (>= 1.0.5)
cucumber-rails (1.0.2)
  capybara (>= 1.0.0)
  cucumber (~> 1.0.0)
  nokogiri (>= 1.4.6)

The suggested step definition above doesn't correspond to that Cucumber step. I suspect you have a near-identical step somewhere else in your feature files but without the quotes around "Where is the love?".
