Detox: Issue with setLocation (PR #532)

We are experiencing an issue with setLocation from PR #532 (https://github.com/wix/detox/pull/532).

The problem seems to be that the iOS simulator and fbsimctl use localised number formats. Meaning comma separated locations fail on our CI and dot separated locations fail locally (on a German machine).

I.E. fbsimctl 417785CA-BB31-44D1-92FC-8D6F7A866562 set_location 12.345 12.345 works on our continuous integration system, but fails locally; fbsimctl 417785CA-BB31-44D1-92FC-8D6F7A866562 set_location 12,345 12,345 works locally, but fails on CI.

@LeoNatan Sure! here it is #1371

Just let me know if you need anything else in the request, I’m kinda new on that

@ayelenmarie Thanks for letting us know! Do you mind opening an enhancement request?

Hi ! Rather than changing my region to US in System Preferences, I used this workaround to make it work on both CI and local environment:

try {
    await device.setLocation('48.8826941', '2.3201584');
  } catch (error) {
    await device.setLocation('48,8826941', '2,3201584');
  }
