💻 Code

I don't have a narrowed code example, it just crashes when running tsc --noEmit on our whole project.

According to the provided bisect information it's caused by something in this diff.

To fix this a repro case has to be provided though.

Got it! https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?ts=5.8.0-dev.20241122#code/KYDwDg9gTgLgBAYwgOwM7xgCwJbIOZwC8cA3gFACQAJhNjABQCUplFUwMArlMixfwG0s2VADoAhgF0AXHABEcgDSsAvgG5KK5eqA

It doesn't show up in the UI for some reason, but in the console you can see an uncaught promise rejection:

[Andarist]

It shouldn't happen but I'm not entirely convinced that it's a repro case for your original problem. This crashes when calling reportNonexistentProperty so it feels like an extra repro for #60336 (that said... a new one cause your issue is pretty new and that can be reproduced with older TS versions). I assume that you've wanted to report an issue for a code that doesn't error on 5.6.3. Once we add a missing property, this repro stops crashing: TS playground

[Andarist]

The above repro is caused by the fact that typeFromObjectLiteral calls inferExpressionType nowadays despite !canGetTypeFromObjectLiteral(objectLiteral, context). Previously it bailed out of this function and just returned false in this case.

We have a similar stacktrace and issue. With version 5.6.3 it is working and building but with the latest 5.7.2 its failing with the following stacktrace:

node:internal/process/promises:289
            triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
            ^
