Description

TypeScript Version: 3.1.6

Calculated props, Spread operator, Enum keyed types

Code

enum Test {
  param = 'X',
  other = 'Y',
  last = 'Z',
};

type TSomeOtherType = {
  readonly someProp: number;
  readonly orOther: string;
};

type TKeyedByEnum = {
  [key in Test]: TSomeOtherType | null;
};

// const throwsCompilerError: TKeyedByEnum = {
//   [Test.param]: 123,
// };

Object.keys(Test).reduce(
    (acc, key: Test): TKeyedByEnum => {
      const doesntThrow: TKeyedByEnum = {
        ...acc,
        [key]: 123,
      };
      return doesntThrow;
    },
    {} as TKeyedByEnum
);

Expected behavior:

Typescript compiler throws an error on the object doesntThrow.

Actual behavior:

There is no typescript error on the object doesntThrow. The resulting object of type TKeyedByEnum contains values of type number.
