🙂 Expected behavior

No crash.

(Ideally an error about an implicit any)

For anyone else who runs in to this, you can work around the crash for now by adding an explicit type to the function argument. Given the example above, this will fix the crash:

function wrap<Args extends unknown[]>(_: (...args: Args) => void) {}
wrap(({ cancelable }: { cancelable?: boolean } = {}) => {});

Unfortunately this bisected to #43845, which introduced the debug message, so that's no indication other than that this has to do with parameter fixing (a la #43835).

This same error had been showing up a lot in fuzzer runs; I think @weswigham said to ping if this sort of thing continued?

[weswigham]

Right. Anywhere this asset fires is somewhere we're erroneously trying to fix a parameter multiple times and need to, well, not (sometimes that can mean ignoring the second fix, or sometimes that can mean combining the secondary and primary results into the first fix).

I'm still having this issue with v4.8.3.

[jakebailey]

@albertodvc If you have a case that is still broken, I'd certainly appreciate a new issue with the code snippet.

I 'fixed' this by updating yarn, I was running an old version (1.x). Then I deleted node_modules and yarn.lock and reinstalled.

Not really a fix though, because I think typescript should give some indication of which code is giving the error.

In my case, I had a dev-dependency of @types/node that was not matching the version of node ( ^20 vs ^16 ). Downgradeing @node/types to 16 resolved it for me
