This was a pretty tricky change to get right. Coverage is at 100%, it reported multiple cases while dogfooding, I turned the false positives into test cases and fixed the true positives. Let the review iterations begin!

At least two missing cases that I need to fix:

declare function fn(param: number);
fn(42 as unknown as number);
declare function fn(param: number);
fn(42 as any as number);

👏 This is so cool! It's always surprising to see a bunch of new fixes in the codebase. Nice.

Requesting changes on two points: a few areas that don't fail tests when removed, and also I think an incorrect report in existing repo code?

return current;
}
current = current.parent as ts.Node | undefined;
current = current.parent;

[Bug?] I believe this was more correct before?

  • For the let current declaration, node isn't ts.Node | undefined. We know it's ts.Node
  • For this assignment, current.parent is ts.Node | undefined. The types are just wrong.

So I think the rule is being overly aggressive about reporting current = current.parent as ts.Node | undefined.

[Testing] Removing this doesn't fail any unit tests. Missing tests or unnecessary code?
