Type Checking

Expected Behaviour

When x is a boolean, if x == false then should identify x as false in its true block, and true in its false block.

Actual Behaviour

In the true block, x is identified as true, and in the false block, x is identified as boolean.

Reproduction steps

1. Paste this code into the editor

local x ---@type boolean

if x == false then
	local y = x
	-- y is type `true`, should be type `false`
else
	local y = x
	-- y is type 'boolean', should be type 'true'
end

2. Hover over y to inspect its type.

Additional Notes

This doesn't just happen with boolean types. It can happen to any type that can be false, such as integer|false|nil.

Riproduci il problema nell’estensione Visual Studio Code usando lo snippet Lua e passa il mouse su y in entrambi i rami. Traccia il comportamento del controllo dei tipi per x == false, quindi verifica che il ramo true venga risolto in false e il ramo false in true, incluse le unioni come integer|false|nil.
