Summary
We already have partial "support" for
assert_never
, because it is annotated asin typeshed. So we already emit a
invalid-argument-type
diagnostic if the argument type toassert_never
is not assignable toNever
.That is not enough, however. Gradual types like
Any
,Unknown
,@Todo(…)
orAny & int
can be assignable toNever
. Which means that we didn't issue any diagnostic in those cases.Also, it seems like
assert_never
deserves a dedicated diagnostic message, not just a generic "invalid argument type" error.Test Plan
New Markdown tests.
