Description
TypeScript Version: 3.2.0-dev.20181002
Code
function getFirst<K extends string, T>(obj: Record<K, ReadonlyArray<T>>, key: K): T {
return obj[key][0];
}
interface I {
readonly n: ReadonlyArray<number>;
readonly s: ReadonlyArray<string>;
}
function f(i: I): number {
return getFirst(i, "n");
}
Expected behavior:
No error.
Actual behavior:
No error in the editor.
Error on the command line:
src/a.ts:11:20 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'I' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Record<"n", ReadonlyArray<string>>'.
Types of property 'n' are incompatible.
Type 'ReadonlyArray<number>' is not assignable to type 'ReadonlyArray<string>'.
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.
11 return getFirst(i, "n");
