💻 Code

// Box<T> type is invariant in T

type Box<T> = {
  get: () => T;
  set: (value: T) => void;
};

declare function box<T>(value: T): Box<T>;

const bn1 = box({ prop: 0 }); // Box<{ prop: number }>
const bn2: Box<{ prop: number }> = box({ prop: 0 }); // Ok

const bb1 = box({ prop: false }); // Box<{ prop: boolean }>
const bb2: Box<{ prop: boolean }> = box({ prop: false }); // Error, box<{ prop: false }> not assignable to Box<{ prop: boolean }>

🙁 Actual behavior

Error on bb2 is surprising and inconsistent with lack of error on bn2.

🙂 Expected behavior

Expected the box(false) expression to have type Box<boolean> for both bb1 and bb2.

Additional information about the issue

This issue is a small variation of https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/48363 that was fixed by @ahejlsberg in https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/48380

Comienza con el TypeScript Playground enlazado y reproduce la diferencia entre los ejemplos de Box numérico y booleano. Rastrea el comportamiento de la inferencia de tipos y de la asignabilidad para la declaración invariante Box mostrada. Se considera terminado cuando los casos booleanos se comporten de forma coherente con los casos numéricos y exista cobertura de regresión para el ejemplo.
