Got exception: IllegalArgumentException: Missing closing brace: }

See original GitHub issue

Hi there,

The following string and the invocation of Phrase got me this exception every time. Could someone take a look and tell me what went wrong? Thanks! : <string name="example_string">{aaa} (Now {bbb})</string>

Phrase.from(this, R.string.example_string)
                    .put("aaa", getAaa())
                    .put("bbb", getBbb())
                    .format()

This is the exception:

Exploded trying to parse content: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing closing brace: }
    at com.squareup.phrase.Phrase.key(Phrase.java:245)
    at com.squareup.phrase.Phrase.token(Phrase.java:221)

@genius1wjc can you post the actual text you have on Phrase instead of the Android resource?

For anyone visiting this issue, I just solved it by using snake_case, the error message is quite ambiguous imo but if someone has a key on phrase {writtenLikeThis} try to change it to {written_like_this}

This should be fixed in 1.2.0
