🕗 Version & Regression Information

I used the playground to test different versions and it looks like this has always occured.

  • This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about "Type Systems behavior", "Type Guards", "Functions".

💻 Code

const t = [4,20] as const
const t2 = [4, 20, 30] as const
const t3 = [10, 10] as [number, number] | [number, number, number]

// Works
new Date().setHours(...t)
new Date().setHours(...t2)

// Error: Expected 1-4 arguments, but got 0 or more.
new Date().setHours(...t3)

🙁 Actual behavior

Error: Expected 1-4 arguments, but got 0 or more.

The array type passed as a length of 2 or 3 so the message "got 0 arguments" is wrong.

🙂 Expected behavior

I expect the compiler should be able to recognize that the array type can only have length 2 or 3 and would not throw an error.
