[bug] Strict parsing regex is not escaped properly

[alaeMellon]

When I'm using

moment().locale("en");
moment("Th 17.05.2018", "dd DD.MM.YYYY", "en").format()
-> Result: "2018-05-17T00:00:00Z"
This is fine.

But when I'm using de there is a problem:

moment().locale("de");
moment("Di 15.05.18", "dd DD.MM.YYYY", "de").format()
-> Result: "Invalid date"

Does anybody know whats wrong?
Thanks for your help!

uvenil, right. This was a copy+paste problem.

But my problem still remains.

I made an jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/m9c3Lde1/

@alaeMellon you're correct we have a bug here.

The problem is that German ddd includes dots, which forces weekdaysParseExact: true, which in turn generates a regex from all possible weekday strings, but unfortunately forgets to escape the dot. So now the dot matches the space, and then Di_ fails to match a proper weekday string (which is only Di or Di.).

I can no longer reproduce this.
Please re-open if you still have concerns.
Hope it's working on your side.
