Gloot fails to return string property started from number

[Nordsoft91]

item protoset

{
    \"id\": \"snack_food\",
    \"description\": \"150 kcal\"
},

code

var descr: String = item.get_property("description", "")

Expected result:

• descr variable has string type and value "150 kcal"

Actual result:

• get_property returns int = 150

I did a bit of investigation and this seems like a Godot problem. str_to_var returns a variable of type int whenever a string begins with a digit. This behavior is also inconsistent with String.is_valid_int():

var s: String = "1a"
print(s.is_valid_int()) # prints false
print(typeof(str_to_var(s)) == TYPE_INT) # prints true

I'll probably open an issue in the Godot repo. or not... it might be intentional. I think I can come up with a quick workaround.

Should be fixed in v2.4.9.
