This is similar to #40796374 but that is around types, while I am using interfaces.
Given the code below:
interface Foo {
name: string;
}
function go() {
let instance: Foo | null = null;
let mutator = () => {
instance = {
name: 'string'
};
};
mutator();
if (instance == null) {
console.log('Instance is null or undefined');
} else {
console.log(instance.name);
}
}I have an error saying ‘Property ‘name’ does not exist on type ‘never’.
I don’t understand how instance could ever be a ‘never’. Can anyone shed some light on this?
