Native types in macros works for list but does not work for int about jinja HOT 2 CLOSED

but apparently it returns a string.

The expression x(1,2) > 3 is a boolean expression and as such should return a boolean which indeed it does:

>>> from jinja2.nativetypes import NativeEnvironment
>>> r = NativeEnvironment().from_string("{%- macro x(a,b) -%}{{- a + b -}}{%- endmacro -%}{{- x(1,2) > 3 -}}").render()
>>> r, type(r)
(False, <class 'bool'>)

If the macro returned a string there would be an error like TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'. Can you clarify why you think the macro returns a string?

Or maybe #1701 is related to your issue?

Hm, indeed, that code works when I try it in another Jinja2 playground. I was using it in the Template editor in Home Assistant, where it does in fact give the error you mention:

So there must be something special about the environment there.
