Code
type Except<T, K extends keyof T> = Pick<T, { [P in keyof T]: P extends K ? never : P }[keyof T]>;
interface I1 {
foo: string;
}
function F1<T extends I1>(): Except<T, ''> { // error is shown but autocomplete is not provided
//code
return null;
}
Expected behavior:
Having autocomplete showing when extending a generic
Actual behavior:
Even if error is correctly displayed, no autocomplete is shown for a T extends with a known type on the right hand.
