This is a brand new error that cropped up today.

I get the following error in this IG: http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/davinci-alerts/branches/master/index.html

Location/hl7east: Location.position.longitude   error   The value '-72.519854' is not a valid decimal

are there some new requriements for decimals like these?

I don't see this?

Grahame Grieve (Jul 24 2019 at 12:05):

not when building locally anyway. do you see it locally?

@James Agnew this looks like some Java localization issue to me. Here's the code in question:

    public static boolean isDecimal(String string) {
      if (isBlank(string)) {
        return false;
      }
      boolean havePeriod = false;
      for (char next : string.toCharArray()) {
        if (next == '.') {
          if (havePeriod) {
            return false;
          }
          havePeriod = true;
        } else if (!Character.isDigit(next)) {
          return false;
        }
      }
      return true;
    }
