Although, I can see why one might be confused by this. I was. Even
though these are regular expressions, the context led me to an
(erroneous, but intuitive) expectation that in the presence of these
two ...
/this and "(.*)"/
/this and "(.*)" and the other thing/
... that the first would not match "this and that and the other thing"
Perhaps a hint in the error message is in order?
When this and "that" and the other thing
Ambiguous step resolution for "this and \"that\" and the other thing":
./features//foo-steps.rb:4:in `/this and "(.*)" and the other thing/'
./features//foo-steps.rb:1:in `/this and "(.*)"/' (Cucumber::Ambiguous)
Consider ending the shorter expression with a $
WDYT?
