Validator bugged?

I am trying to pass my code... But the system just doesn't want me to pass.

Error message: Bummer! Make sure you're writing the transition properties in the correct rule.

I've tried this so far:

/* Saying: transition-duration for all elements: .4s. */
.button {
background: #468268;
transition-duration: .4s;
}
.button:hover {
background: #356690;
transition-duration: .4s;
}

/* Defining transition property (as first done in the video). */
.button {
background: #468268;
transition-duration: .4s;
}
.button:hover {
background: #356690;
transition-property: background;
transition-duration: .4s;
}

/* For good measure, also defining the transitioning object property. */
.button {
background: #468268;
transition-property: background;
transition-duration: .4s;
}
.button:hover {
background: #356690;
transition-property: background;
transition-duration: .4s;
}

/* Using the shorthand version saying: All transition elements take .4s. */
.button {
background: #468268;
transition: .4s;
}
.button:hover {
background: #356690;
transition: .4s;
}

/* Using the "all" property to highlight that all elements need to transition (just like in the video). */
.button {
background: #468268;
transition-duration: .4s;
}
.button:hover {
background: #356690;
transition-property: all;
transition-duration: .4s;
}

Edit ---------------------------------------------------- after Nick's answer I tried:

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-property: background;
  transition-duration: .4s;
}

.button:hover {
  background: #356690;
  transition-property: background;
}

and

.button {
background: #4682B4; transition-duration: .4s; }

.button:hover { background: #356690; transition-property: background; }

None shall pass...

When i'm posting the following below at challenge task it's working: Create a .4 second transition for .button that transitions the background colors on both the hover and off states.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-duration: .4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
}

Remove the transition-duration out of the :hover Than it works
