Solidus 2.11.17 does not support GBP currency

[keferboeck]

Solidus Version:
2.11.17

To Reproduce

/initializers/spree.rb
config.currency = "GBP"
(instead of USD)

In the Database, run the following queries to (against the sample store) to switch from USD to GBP

update spree_orders
set currency = "GBP"
where currency = "USD";


update spree_prices
set currency = "GBP" 
where currency = "USD";


update spree_variants
set cost_currency = "GBP" 
where cost_currency = "USD";

Current behavior

When currency is set to GBP, the checkout process does throw an error past the "address" step. The error message is:
"We are unable to calculate shipping rates for the selected items."

Expected behavior

Once the address fields are correctly field in, clicking "save & continue" should take you to the next step "Delivery".

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• MacOS Big Sur (Version: 11.2.2)
• Browser: Chrome Version 104.0.5112.101 (Official Build) (arm64)

Additional context

I tested the behaviour against the sample store, as well as products we added. That shop was build from scratch without any sample data. The error appears on both setups. I backed up the databases if that is of any help, but I am sure you can easily reproduce it yourself.

You need to update the shipping methods as well, as they are all likely configured for USD.

If you have further issues with this, please open a discussion in the Troubleshooting section or ask on Slack.

@jarednorman @keferboeck I converted this issue into a discussion, so you can mark an answer as the right one and help future people in the same trouble to find an answer easier. Thanks to both!

@jarednorman - there is no reference to currency in any of the shipping methods tables. The only time currency appears within shipping tables is in spree_shipping_methods.name

Example: UPS Ground (USD)

I would be surprised if the name field's content in the brackets (USD) makes the difference?!

Or perhaps, can you please be a little more specific about where precisely I can change the currency in shipping methods? Thank you!

It's in the preferences on the shipping method's calculator.
