Yes agree, moving to convert(a, int128) without quotes is the way to go. |

What's your issue about?
If you forget to add quotes to the type you want to convert to, Vyper will give an unhelpful error:
How can it be fixed?
So, catching this error might work out to fix this issue, but I think the underlying issue is that the second argument (
convertTo
) is a string instead of a typename. This actually makes it a little more unintuitive to write conversions as you could misspell the name and not get visual feedback from your IDE (assuming you have syntax highlighting up)I would suggest turning this into a VIP to modify the syntax of convert such that a valid typename is supplied as the second argument
