How to repair a 'TS2769: No overload matches this call'

Question

After package updates, I suddenly get weird typescript errors:

[tsl] ERROR in C:..\\UI\\src\\sagas.ts(40,21) TS2769: No overload match

Answer 1

My colleague eventually taught me a workaround:

1. Exclude the corresponding action, e.g. takeEvery from the original import statement.
2. Import all action with as Eff where Eff is an alias.
3. Define a new constant with the same name as the original action.

import { put, fork, select, call } from 'redux-saga/effects' // <-- modified
import * as Eff from 'redux-saga/effects'  // <-- new

// ... 

const takeEvery: any = Eff.takeEvery;      // <-- new
const takeLatest: any = Eff.takeLatest;    // <-- new

As far as I understand him, the idea is to explicity allow any type.

Edit: I am aware that Facebook (as developer of React) does explicitly state that one should not use inheritance, see https://reactjs.org/docs/composition-vs-inheritance.html
