Error object returned by pcall() declared to always be a string #79
pcall() is declared to return LuaMultiReturn<[true, R] | [false, string]>, but in Lua, the error object can be anything. This leads to problem when the error object is used in a context where it matters whether it can be something other than a string.
Function foo() throws an empty object. To allow concatenation with a string, a call to tostring() needs to be inserted, but it isn't. So the concatenation in the argument to print() fails:
Lua execution error:
[string "--[[ Generated with https://github.com/TypeSc..."]:7: attempt to concatenate a table value (field '?')
If the correct type is added to the declaration of result, the call to tostring() is inserted:
letresult: [true,void]|[false,unknown]=pcall(foo)
Generated code:
--[[ Generated with https://github.com/TypeScriptToLua/TypeScriptToLua ]]functionfoo()
error({}, 0)
endresult= {pcall(foo)}
ifnotresult[1] thenprint("error: " ..tostring(result[2]))
end
Expected behavior
I think that the return type of pcall() should be changed to LuaMultiReturn<[true, R] | [false, unknown]>. The same applies to coroutine.resume().
