Error: Debug Failure. No error for 3 or fewer overload signatures

[UselessPickles]

TypeScript Version: 3.6.2 through 3.8.0-dev.20191126 (no error in 3.5.3)

Search Terms: Debug Failure. No error for 3 or fewer overload signatures

Code
Large proprietary enterprise project that I cannot share. The error does not point to any specific place in the code, so I have no idea how to create a minimal reproduction of the issue.

Expected behavior: My code should compile, or give useful compiler errors.

Actual behavior: A runtime error from within tsc.js with a stack trace.
This stack trace is from version 3.7.2 in particular:

If someone can provide guidance on how I can debug tsc.js and identify what code is causing this error, then I could probably provide more info and try to create a minimal reproduction of the issue.

Sure! In checkJsxSelfClosingElementDeferred you'll see a node argument; this will have a start value that tells you the offset in the file, and if you go sufficiently high up in the .parent.parent.parent... chain you'll see a SourceFile that has a fileName that tells you which file contains the code.

@RyanCavanaugh Thanks! I have now reproduced the error in the Playground. I had to copy/paste some type definitions from npm packages (noted with comments).

This is the relevant code to look for:

        return (
            // Compiler throws error here:
            <ReactSelectClass<T>
                {...props}
                multi={false}
                autosize={false}
                value={props.value}
                onChange={(value) => {
                    if (props.onChange) {
                        props.onChange(value === null ? undefined : value);
                    }
                }}
            />
        );

Looking over my code again (the createReactSingleSelect() HOC), I'm finding some awkwardness in how I setup the generics that may not quite be correct. But if it is incorrect, I would expect a valid compiler error rather than a stack trace.

I will work on cleaning up my code and may be able to get around this issue, I think it's still worth investigating and fixing on the TSC side.

@UselessPickles fantastic, thank you so much!

I cleaned up my generics for createReactSingleSelect() to be more correct/simple and still get the same error.

This error was introduced for me when i switched from react-scripts-ts to react-scripts.
So the error will be fixed in typescript 3.8.1 but could someone tell me please how to avoid this currently?
Tried compiling with older versions of typescript and very strange, sometimes it works, sometimes not. But even if the app runs, from the moment i open a debug session (in Visual Studio code), i always get the error ..
