Unreachable type breaks config inference

[jasonkuhrt]

The inferred type of 'default' cannot be named without a reference to '.pnpm/@typescript-eslint+utils@7.6.0_eslint@8.57.0_typescript@5.4.5/node_modules/@typescript-eslint/utils/ts-eslint'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

I have a minimal project here, could there be something wrong in the typescript-eslint package?

My tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "NodeNext",
    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
    "rootDir": ".",
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "declaration": true
  }
}

Uh oh! @jasonkuhrt, the image you shared is missing helpful alt text. Check your discussion body.

Alt text is an invisible description that helps screen readers describe images to blind or low-vision users. If you are using markdown to display images, add your alt text inside the brackets of the markdown image.

Sorry the issue templates are daunting. If I import the following:

import { TSESLint } from '@typescript-eslint/utils'

it makes this error go away:

TS2742: The inferred type of 'default' cannot be named without a reference to '.pnpm/@typescript-eslint+utils@7.6.0_eslint@8.57.0_typescript@5.4.5/node_modules/@typescript-eslint/utils/ts-eslint'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.
