Timex 2.2.1: ** (Timex.Parse.ParseError) Expected end of input for parsing dates using :strftime for certain timezones

[marcelog]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error with Timex 2.2.1:

Timex.parse! "2016-01-01T19:32:32 America/Port-au-Prince", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S %Z", :strftime
** (Timex.Parse.ParseError) Expected end of input at line 1, column 32
    lib/parse/datetime/parser.ex:85: Timex.Parse.DateTime.Parser.parse!/3

As an example, the timezone America/Port-au-Prince exists as a valid Timezone when calling Timex.timezones/0.

The expected result would be to get a valid DateTime.

Perhaps I'm missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Update: this actually works:

> now = DateTime.now
> now_in_tz = Timezone.convert now, "America/Port-au-Prince"
#<DateTime(2016-07-20T19:06:35 America/Port-au-Prince (-05:00:00))>
> Timex.format(now_in_tz, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S %Z", :strftime)
{:ok, "2016-07-20T19:06:35 America/Port-au-Prince"}

Fixed in 3.0.5. I can potentially backport this fix if required, let me know.

Thanks for the fix!

We've upgraded to 3.0.0 (and now 3.0.5) since then, so we don't need the backport (although perhaps other might benefit from it!)

Cheers!
