Indeed it was an argument error.

Guess the tutorial I followed is outdated: https://testing.docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gi...-in-basics
Any up to date links suggested ?

I have very good experience with languages such as C++ or VB.Net, but I am fairly "green" with python.
Also, I am using Visual Studio, alas it does not support Gimp nativelly (unsure if I can configure it to do so).

No better suggestion but you can report that the tutorial is wrong.

Personally I'm using PyCharm (I used a plain editor for Gimp 2.10 scripts). I eventually managed to make it understand the Gimp GI imports, so I have some modicum of code completion. And I tend to pepper my code with type hints so PyCharm catches many things before I even try to run the code (with Python 2.7 the first runs were mostly used to fix syntax errors...).

What addons / plugins do you prefer there for python coding?

I use PyCharm too, mostly to review code that I've already prepared in VS Code. In my experience, PyCharm catches more errors than VS Code. I prefer VS Code mostly because of its ease of use and its font. I'm visually impaired by artifacts created by Lasik eye surgery, so I find VS Code's font paired with a high contrast dark theme to be more readable than anything I can do natively in PyCharm.
