Compile-time definitions: number is now escaped as string

Developer Tools Particle Workbench
,
1

Hi, previously it was possible to have the product ID as a compile-time definition; however it seems that recently there has been a change which causes the value to be output as a string rather than a number!

Example settings.json entry:
{"particle.compileDefines": [
"PRD_ID=91"]
}

Expectation (and previous behavior): build script should have -DPRD_ID=91 as switch statement
Behavior now: build script has -DPRD_ID='91'

It seems that this has changed sometime between April 2021 and now :stuck_out_tongue:

As a side note, VSCode seems to require a reboot before intellisense picked up the change in value, however it does present it as a number (not a string)
#define PRD_ID 91

Further notes/background:
Looking into this due to having a device moving from one project back to another.
Device is marked as development device, to prevent being reflashed from projects.

doing a clean application + deviceOS(local), rebuild application + deviceOS(local) and local flash had no effect (device would still appear under previous prjID, even when pulled manually to new project via device-add option in particle console.)

Switches in build look like this: -fno-builtin-free -fno-builtin-realloc -DPRD_ID=‘7571’ -DLOG_INCLUDE_SOURCE_INFO=1

Restarting PC, then performing the same steps (clean, rebuild, reflash) the device now appears under the correct project.

Switches in build still look like this: -fno-builtin-free -fno-builtin-realloc -DPRD_ID=‘7571’ -DLOG_INCLUDE_SOURCE_INFO=1

No source change, only the compiler options.
