Phone number validation doesn't really work correctly

A UK phone number is of the format [phone] (country area number). I only include the spaces here to illustrate the format.

It won’t accept as valid even if you give the country code as 0044. I’ve also tried it with my Polish phone number and it won’t accept that either.

I’ve just noticed that the regex is in the code sample itself:

questions = [
  inquirer.Text('name', message="What's your name"),
  inquirer.Text('surname', message="What's your surname"),
  inquirer.Text('phone', message="What's your phone number",
                validate=lambda x, _: re.match('\d+', x),
                )
]

However, there’s no value I seem to be able to give it that will pass validation. I haven’t forgotten to import re.

I see… You mean in the documentation. Good point. I’ll try to fix it as soon as I could.

Ehm, validate=True means it is always valid, sooo nothing interesting there. Otherwise, the validate function is called with signature validate(previous_answers, current_value_of_current_question), therefore you are interested in the second argument 😉 I tried the current example in master and it worked as expected, that said it is not somehow advanced validation it just shows how it works…
