luaeval returns number out of float

[Nikola]

Hi, 

I use luaeval to compute some float result.

 these floating values are returned 

 to vim9 defined func which itself returns float type. 

When i run a try, vim echoes error E1012: type mismatch; expected float but got number. 

Code:

def Foo(): float

 return luaeval('require("compute.utils" ).luamethod(_A.x,_A.y)', {'x' : '2.0', 'y' : '1.0' }) 

enddef

When i print returned value of lua méthode, it prints 1.0

Huge version of gvim9 built with patch 1610 under Win10 with +lua interface. 

Thank you 

Nikola

I get an error for loading compute.utils:
[string "luaeval"]:1: module 'compute.utils' not found:
<09>no field package.preload['compute.utils']

Does that need to be installed first?

There are a couple of errors in the code that you should have noticed:
There should not be a space before the colons in the dictionary.

I assume you call the function with "echo Foo()"?

I cannot guess what the problem is, this appears to work fine:

def Foo(): float
return luaeval('math.pi')
enddef

Hi Bram

Thank you for answer. 

Considering this minimal reproducing test which succeed as your,

 it doesn't come from api vim-lua, but from my own middleware vim9 script, 

I will have to look furthermore the params'values i pass. 

Ps: Forget the code and space errors, it was just the idea. 

compute.utils was just to say i use and require a lua helper script of my own. 

Vim9 client code --  vim9 export def func -- lua helper script

Thank you for your help, I will see that.
