Capybara click_link doesn't take parameters after question mark

Capybara standard step with my debugger point:

When /^(?:|I )follow "([^"]*)"$/ do |link|
  debugger
  click_link(link)
end

In debugger console I look at page.body and see this link:

<a href=\"/movies/find_all_by_director/George%20Lucas?movie_id=1\">Find Movies With Same Director</a>

But Cucumber test gives me an error:

When I follow "Find Movies With Same Director"
  No route matches [GET] "/movies/find_all_by_director/George%20Lucas" (ActionController::RoutingError)

Where is my movie_id parameter?

UPDATE: There may be a mistake. config/routes.rb:

Rottenpotatoes::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :movies
  get 'movies/find_all_by_director/:director?movie_id=:movie_id' => 'movies#find_all_by_director', :as => 'find_all_by_director'
end

When you click this link in a browser does it come up with an routing error as well?

I don't think it's to do with capybara (click_link definitely does honor query params). It's just that Rails is answering that there's no route -- the query params don't generally influence routing so they are irrelevant to it.

see also: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#the-query-string but note it might be possible for routing to be adjusted by segment constraints:
