🕗 Version & Regression Information

• This changed between versions 4.7.4 and 5.2.0-dev.20230710
• This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about "cannot be named"

Two files involved, so can't make a playground link

💻 Code

declaration=true

// fileA.ts
export const $SYM = Symbol("$SYM");
export const OBJ = { [$SYM]: 42 };

// fileB.ts
import type { $SYM, OBJ } from "./fileA";
export function func(obj: typeof OBJ, sym: typeof $SYM) {
  return [obj, sym];
}

🙁 Actual behavior

Error: Return type of exported function has or is using name '$SYM' from external module "fileA" but cannot be named.

🙂 Expected behavior

The expectation was that it compiles. Because if I use a string constant literal instead of the symbol, it works.

P.S.
In version 4.7.4 it worked, BUT it worked incorrectly: it generated declarations like function func(obj: { [$SYM]: number }) without actually importing $SYM, so it treated $SYM as a string (I think it was a bug). Now that bug is fixed, but there is still no way to generate declarations for similar situations (and as you can see, importing $SYM explicitly doesn't help).

Beginne mit dem Zwei-Dateien-Repro in fileA.ts und fileB.ts, unter Verwendung von declaration=true und den im Bericht beschriebenen TypeScript-Versionen. Verfolge die Generierung der Deklaration für den Rückgabetyp von func und das importierte Symbol. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn das Repro kompiliert und Deklarationen erzeugt, die die Symbolreferenz ohne TS4058 korrekt beibehalten.
