Assertion methods (`asserts this is`) are not CFA'd without error

TypeScript Version: 4.0.5, 4.1.0-beta, 4.2.0-dev.20201112

Code

class X<T, Locked extends boolean> {
    public x: null | T | (Locked extends true ? 1 : 2) = null

    public assert<U>(): asserts this is X<U, Locked> { }
    public lock(): asserts this is X<T, true> {}
}

const x: X<string | number, false> = new X<string | number, false>()

x.assert<string>()
// x is X<string, false> here

x.lock()

Expected behavior:

Either:

• After x.lock(), x is narrowed to X<string, true>
• Or, the x.lock() line throws at compile-time due to not being CFA'd

Actual behavior:

After x.lock(), x is narrowed to X<string, false> & X<string | number, true>.

Analysis:

x being typed as X<string, false> & X<string | number, true> shows that the x.lock() narrows from the original type (X<string | number, false>) instead of the narrowed type at that position (X<string, false>).

If instead a "top-level" assertion function is used the type is properly narrowed:

class X<T, Locked extends boolean> {
    public x: null | T | (Locked extends true ? 1 : 2) = null

    public assert<U>(): asserts this is X<U, Locked> { }
    public lock(): asserts this is X<T, true> {}
}

const x: X<string | number, false> = new X<string | number, false>()

x.assert<string>()
// x is X<string, false> here

declare function lock<T>(v: X<T, boolean>): asserts v is X<T, true>
lock(x)

Playground

This leads me to believe this is an issue with the x.lock() call not being CFA'd, in which case the correct behavior would be to throw ts(2775) on the x.lock() line.

Führen Sie zunächst die bereitgestellte TypeScript Playground-Reproduktion aus und vergleichen Sie die Kontrollfluss-Narrowing nach x.assert<string>() und x.lock(). Untersuchen Sie die Behandlung von Methoden mit asserts this is durch den Compiler sowie den gemeldeten Intersection-Typ. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn die zweite Assertion entweder auf X<string, true> eingrenzt oder den erwarteten Compile-Time-Fehler meldet und eine Regressionstestabdeckung für das Beispiel vorhanden ist.
