Question:Why Maple is not performing numerical integration?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to interpolate a function using the roots of a Chebyshev polynomial as interpolation points, and then compute the absolute error. I want to compute that error via numerical integration, however, Maple is returning the expression of the integration itself. Why is that?

This is the code I'm using:

with(CurveFitting):

u := x -> exp(1/2*x^2 - 1/2):

r := evalf(allvalues(RootOf(ChebyshevT(5, x), x))):
points := Vector(5, i -> r[i]):
u_points := Vector(5, i -> u(points[i])):

P__2 := PolynomialInterpolation(points, u_points, x):

evalf(int(abs(u(x) - P__2), x = -1 .. 1))

This is the result:
