Unable to parse money in Euro

[crbelaus]

I am trying to save a money field from a Phoenix input. Everything works properly except for the validation when I use Euros.

I've traced the problem to the Money.parse function.

iex(1)> Money.parse("99.99$")
#Money<:USD, 99.99>
iex(2)> Money.parse("99.99€")
{:error,
 {Money.Invalid,
  "Unable to create money from <<130, 172>> and <<57, 57, 46, 57, 57, 226>>"}}

It looks that the € symbol is correctly associated with the EUR currency:

iex(3)> {:ok, currencies} = Cldr.Currency.currency_strings "en", Money.Cldr
{:ok, %{...}}
iex(4)> currencies["€"]
:EUR
iex(5)> currencies["$"]
:USD

It may be some trouble with the regular expression that splits the amount and the currency, since as you can see in the first error, it is interpreting the € as <<130, 172>>.

Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for the report. I have fixed on master and published version 3.2.3 to hex.

The issue was that I wasn't setting the :unicode flag on the regex used to parse the currency string (pretty much as you suspected). I've added a test for this particular case.

Wow, that is an incredibly fast fix.

Thank you for your fast response and for such a wonderful package!! 🙌
