Error: Debug Failure. No error for last overload signature

🔎 Search Terms

The TypeScript compiler crashs with the message "Error: Debug Failure. No error for last overload signature". (Check the DevTools console for the error message in the TypeScript Playground).

I've found issue #60229, which has the same error message. However, I am not sure if the root cause is the same.

🕗 Version & Regression Information

• The problem appears in the latest nightly version (v5.9.0-dev.20250403)
• This changed between versions 3.5.1 and 3.6.2 (in the Playground it works in 3.5.1 but not in 3.6.2 anymore)

💻 Code

type Generic<T> = T extends any[] ? T[number] : T[keyof T];

export function testFn<A extends Record<string, any>>(
  obj: A,
  cb: (b: Generic<Partial<A>>) => any
) {
  for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(obj)) {
    cb(val as Generic<A>);
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

The compiler crashs with:

🙂 Expected behavior

That the compiler does not crash.

Additional information about the issue

Changing

cb: (b: Generic<Partial<A>>) => any

to

cb: (b: Partial<Generic<A>>) => any

prevents the error. However, this only addresses the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Reproduziere den Absturz im TypeScript Playground mit der verlinkten nightly-Version und dem bereitgestellten generischen Callback-Beispiel. Beginne bei den im Stacktrace angezeigten Einträgen resolveCall und resolveCallExpression, vergleiche das Verhalten mit den Versionen 3.5.1 und 3.6.2 und stelle sicher, dass das Kompilieren des Beispiels nicht mehr abstürzt.
