`valid_countries` doesn't seems like working properly

[shqear93]

Phonelib Version: 0.6.51
Rails Version: 6.0.4

My test case:

Phone number: 6135550130 - Canadian

Phonelib.parse('6135550130').valid_countries         #Empty Array
Phonelib.parse('6135550130').valid_for_country? 'CA' #true
Phonelib.parse('6135550130').countries               #["US"]

What is Expected:

Phonelib.parse('6135550130').countries          #["US", "CA"]
Phonelib.parse('6135550130').valid_countries    #["CA"]

this might be valid only for canadian numbers

@shqear93 Hi, what happens here, is that when you are not specifying country gem tries to guess it. And it can't guess to add "1" as country prefix. When you run Phonelib.parse('6135550130').valid_for_country? 'CA' gem executes Phonelib.parse('6135550130', :ca). You have several options here:

• you can define Phonelib.default_country to :ca, in order to help gem to guess the country
• you can specify the country during parsing like Phonelib.parse('6135550130', :ca)

@daddyz Thanks for your response, I actually still confused about valid_countries, isn't supposed to try the validity of the number provided against all countries?
