`asserts this is T` does not narrow type of `this`

• I also checked #59707, but it is unrelated (generic types).

💻 Code

class A {
  onlyDefinedInA() {
    console.log("A");
  }

  assertA(): asserts this is A { }
}


class B {
  assertA(): asserts this is A { }
}

type C = A | B;

function assertA(c: C): asserts c is A {
}

function test1(c: C) {
  c.assertA();
  c.onlyDefinedInA(); // Error: Property 'onlyDefinedInA' does not exist on type 'C'. Property 'onlyDefinedInA' does not exist on type 'B'.
}

function test2(c: C) {
  assertA(c);
  c.onlyDefinedInA(); // Works!
}

Workbench Repro

🙁 Actual behavior

Type of c is not narrowed after the method call, producing an error.

🙂 Expected behavior

I expect the member function to to perform type narrowing.

Additional information about the issue

No response

Inizia con la riproduzione collegata di TypeScript Playground e confronta il caso di chiamata al metodo in test1 con l'asserzione autonoma in test2. Traccia come viene gestito asserts this is A dopo una chiamata a un membro, quindi verifica che la chiamata al metodo restringa c in modo che onlyDefinedInA() venga accettato senza causare regressioni nel caso autonomo.
