Summary
Another go at #10066, generators weren't included in the last PR (#10480).
Test plan
Added more type tests.
Details
Reviewers will notice some ugly stuff going on. For starters, that
isGeneratorFn
type guard is checking against theGeneratorFunction
interface, which doesn't seem to be the correct approach here (it's badly misunderstood just likeFunction
). If we try to useGeneratorFunction
as the receiving type for hook functions, it will fail.So I declared a makeshift interface that should hold any generator function. But then, for some reason the type inference of a few
fn.call
insidejest-circus
broke. I have no idea why, but manually providing the type arguments was possible to please the compiler.Then another type inference gone awry and I had to specify the
any
type for thereturnedValue
variable, otherwise TypeScript inferred its value as possibly aGenerator
(thanks for nothing on the above type guard).So all in all I'm not very pleased with the way things are, but I wasn't able to remove any of this cruft. If someone else feels like trying to, they're welcomed to try and supersede this PR.
