Generics, inheritance and an overloaded constructor

VisualStudio Code on Windows, lua-language-server v3.7.4 (Last updated 2024-01-07, 10:29:54)

The following error occurs only when a generic inherits from a type containing an overloaded constructor.

local e = Entity()
e:get(Transform2)
e:get(Transform)

The only difference between Transform and Transform2 is the overloaded constructor.

I could "workaround" this issue by removing : ComponentBase from the function Entity:get ... but I want to check whether the given component type is valid.

Here is the simplified annotation file:

---@class ComponentBase

---@class Transform: ComponentBase
Transform = {}

---@class Transform2: ComponentBase
---@overload fun(x: number, y: number): Transform2
Transform2 = {}

---@class Entity
---@overload fun(): Entity
Entity = {}

---@generic T: ComponentBase
---@param type T
---@return T
function Entity:get(type) end

从 issue 中的简化注解文件开始，使用 lua-language-server v3.7.4 在 Windows 上的 Visual Studio Code 中重现该诊断。比较针对 Transform 和 Transform2 的通用 Entity:get 调用，然后验证有效的组件类型是否得到一致处理且不会出现所报告的错误。
