Repro Code

// Code example adapted from typescript-eslint.io/packages/scope-manager

import { analyze } from '@typescript-eslint/scope-manager';
import { parse } from '@typescript-eslint/typescript-estree';

analyze(parse(`const hello: string = 'world';`).body[0]);

ESLint Config

No ESLint config.

tsconfig

{ "compilerOptions": { "module": "nodenext", "noEmit": true, "strict": true } }

Expected Result

It should either:

• work at runtime, or
• fail at compile time with a TS error, AND fail at runtime with a helpful error message.

Actual Result

• At compile time, tsc reports no errors, indicating that this is a valid usage.
• At runtime, @typescript-eslint/scope-manager throws aaa:

node_modules/@typescript-eslint/scope-manager/dist/assert.js:7
        throw new Error(message);
              ^
