cucumber AmbiguousStepDefinitionsException Java

Fran :

I'm getting an AmbiguousStepDefinitionsException with the following case, I don't understand how to solve this problem. Please help!

scenario

  Scenario Outline: Testing the price ordering filter
    When the <priceOrder> filter is clicked
    Then prices are ordered by <priceOrder>
    Examples:
    |  priceOrder |
    |  ascending  |
    |  descending |

  Scenario Outline: Testing the stars hotel filter
    When the <star> stars hotel filter is clicked
    Then all hotels are <star> stars
    Examples:
    |  star  |
    |    1   |
    |    2   |
    |    3   |
    |    4   |
    |    5   |

step file

    @When("^the (.*?) filter is clicked$")
    public void thePriceOrderFilterIsClicked(String priceOrder) {
        hotelPage.activatePriceFilter(priceOrder);
    }

    @When("^the (\\d+) stars hotel filter is clicked$")
    public void theStarStarsHotelFilterIsClicked(int star) {
        hotelPage.activateStarsFilter(String.valueOf(star));
    }

    @Then("^all hotels are (\\d+) stars$")
    public void allHotelsAreStarStars(int star) throws InterruptedException {
        hotelPage.checkHotelStars(String.valueOf(star));
    }

error

cucumber.runtime.AmbiguousStepDefinitionsException: ✽.When the 5 stars hotel filter is clicked(hotelSearches.feature:16) matches more than one step definition:
  ^the (.*?) filter is clicked$ in HotelSearchesSteps.thePriceOrderFilterIsClicked(String)
  ^the (\d+) stars hotel filter is clicked$ in HotelSearchesSteps.theStarStarsHotelFilterIsClicked(int)

Any idea? Thanks!

The fourth bird :

The pattern that you use This pattern ^the (.*?) filter is clicked$ matching until the first occurrence of filter which will match both scenario's.

If you want the first scenario matched the <priceOrder> filter is clicked and the <priceOrder> can be for example ascending or descending, you could match 1+ word characters (\w+), only lowercase chars ([a-z]+) or use an alternation (ascending|descending) to make it specific.

For example keeping the capturing group:

the (\w+) filter is clicked
