Details

Description
The command /pay doesn't take care of the currency-symbol-format-locale setting. When a player want to pay 50 cents seperated with a comma (like it's also displayed with /money), they will pay 50 euro instead.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Change the currency-symbol-format-locale to de-DE
  2. Change the minimum-pay-amount to at least 0.01
  3. Do /ess reload
  4. Pay someone a german formatted amount of money like /pay User 100,50 (these are 100 euro and 50 cents)
  5. You will see that you've paid 1.005,00 to that User instead of 100,50.

Expected behavior
As I've changed the currency format to german, the /pay command should also utilize it.

Thanks for opening a bug report.

EssentialsX currently removes all characters except the digits 0-9 and a decimal point:

String stringAmount = args[1].replaceAll("[^0-9\\.]", "");

It then uses Java's BigDecimal to parse the resulting amount into an actual money value:

It's the second part that's the issue - BigDecimal doesn't support , decimal places. Even if we stopped removing commas, we'd need to parse the command argument ourselves in order to solve this.

While this can't be fixed immediately, for now you can enable command confirmations, which will prompt users to type /pay confirm before sending money, prompting them with the correct amount (shown in the right currency format) before the payment is sent.

Okay, I understand the problem. I tried the following:

String stringAmount = "1.234XYZ,50".replaceAll("[^0-9\\.\\,]", "");
BigDecimal bigDecimal = new BigDecimal(NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.GERMAN).parse(stringAmount).toString());
System.out.println(bigDecimal);

This gives me 1234.5 when I put "1.23XYZ4,50" and should be okay for further use.
