Webassembly Type Conversion

Elements Oxygene

What is the type returned or how do I convert the type returned from the following:

var d: dynamic := Browser.GetEllementById(‘myDiv’);

// the following works
writeLn('Child Count: ’ + d.children.length);

// the following gives an “Invalid cast” exception
var I: Integer := d.children.length;

Curious. That sounds like a bug, I’d expect that to work. What’s the exact full error message? Does it say what the type is that can’t be cast to Intever?

Any advice / news on this?
I have since found the the following works:

var x: Double := d.children.length;

My apologies; it seems I lost track of this one. It looks, like a bug, possibly with string concatenation on dynamics that aren’t strings. I’ll log to have this investigated.

Oddly, this fails for me too, with a very weird error (logged separately):

      var d: dynamic := Browser.GetElementById('myDiv');
      var a := 'Child Count: ' + d.children.length; // works fine
      writeLn($'a {a}'); // prints it fine      
      writeLn($'Child Count: {d.children.length}'); // ok
      writeLn('Child Count: ' + d.children.length); // fails with "No element with this name: writeLn"

that said,

I can repro that .length apparently can be assigned to a Double, but not to an Integer (the original issue); not sure why yet.
