Consul Template version

consul-template v0.19.5 (57b6c71)

Configuration

{{ scratch.Set "t" 2 }}
{{ range $x := loop (scratch.Get "t") }} -> {{ $x }}
{{ end }}

or even:

{{ $n := 2 }}
{{ range $x := loop $n }} -> {{ $x }}
{{ end }}

Command

consul-template -dry -once -template template.txt

Debug output

https://gist.github.com/ninoles/a8c20e7ce709e15e969350d205bd5c57

Expected behavior

What should have happened?

The template should have run the loop and print -> 1 -> 2

Actual behavior

.\template.txt: execute: template: :2:33: executing "" at <"t">: wrong type for value; expected int64; got int

Steps to reproduce

1. run the command line as shown above.

An easy workaround is to do a scratch.Set "t" (parseInt "2") instead, which will correctly set the value save to a int64, but I can't see why either, loop can't use a int, or that all int should be considered int64.

I update the bug report with the same example using a simple variable this time... same results.

Thanks for the report @hashicorp/consul-eco

I'm not sure why the original author changed loop to take int64 instead of int (which it did before that). There is no explanation nor linked issue and it was done 6 months after loop was added (back in 2015). Anyone have a clue?
