Can not pass static[string] to macro

[alexsad]

The pass var type static[string] to macro doesn't work for me.
    
    
    import macros
    import json
    
    template evalStr(e: static[string]): untyped =
      macro payload: untyped {.gensym.} =
        result = parseStmt(e)
      payload()
    
    macro checkStatic(strEval: static[string]) : untyped =
      echo "passed but not static: ", strEval
      evalStr("""var j = %* {"name": "Isaac", "books": ["Robot Dreams"]}""") # 
this works
      echo j # of course happens at compile time what I need
      
      evalStr(strEval) # it doesn't work but should
      
      result = quote do:
        echo ""
    
    
    checkStatic """"var j2 = %* {"name": "Isaac", "books": ["Robot Dreams"]}""""
    
    
    Run

getting error: Error: type mismatch: got <string> but expected one of: template 
evalStr(e: static[string]): untyped
