I have an odd error on github actions where my tests fail on `x86` machines but pass on `x64`. Basically this:
```julia
Single Baseline Region: Error During Test at /home/runner/work/LandUse.jl/LandUse.jl/test/model_test.jl:1
385
Got exception outside of a @test
386
TypeError: in setfield!, expected Int32, got a value of type Int64
```
In the definition of the concerned data type, I changed all things like
```julia
x :: Int64
```
to
```julia
x :: Int
```
but to no avail. what am I missing?

Any chance you can link to the code?

unfortunately no. but you just got me onto the right lead I think. I use `JSON.parse` to read default param values into the data type. look what I found:
```julia
help?> JSON.parse
parse{T<:Associative}(str::AbstractString;
dicttype::Type{T}=Dict,
inttype::Type{<:Real}=Int64,
allownan::Bool=true,
null=nothing)
```
that’s it right? How can I know the machine type , so that I can set `inttype` correctly?

You can just use `Int` I suppose.

good point. let me try that. for future reference, I thought also that this could work
```julia
JSON.parse(f,inttype = Sys.ARCH == :x86_64 ? Int64 : Int32)
```
but your idea is better I think.

Unless you want to ignore all non-Intel 64-bit platforms, I believe you wanted to check `Sys.WORD_SIZE == 64`, but `Int` is just much better. `Sys.WORD_SIZE` is defined depending on the size of `Int`:

I see! Thanks !
