💻 Code

async function registerPluginBad<Opt extends Record<string, any>>(callback: (app: any, options: Opt) => void, opts: NoInfer<Opt>): Promise<void> {}

registerPluginBad((app, opts: { something: string }) => {}, {
  // below autocomplete is broken, even though the type is properly validated
  some
});


// interestingly, autocomplete works if "options" argument comes first, for example:
async function registerPluginGood<Opt extends Record<string, any>>(callback: (options: Opt, app: any) => void, opts: NoInfer<Opt>): Promise<void> {}

registerPluginGood((opts: { something: string }, app: any) => {}, {
  // below autocomplete works
  some
});

🙁 Actual behavior

This one has to be tested in the playground: registerPluginBad - second argument does not autocomplete, however type is properly validated registerPluginGood - exact same function, except the first argument "callback" arguments have changed the order, which for some reason fixes the autocomplete

🙂 Expected behavior

For both functions, autocomplete should work. Argument order should not matter. Both do not infer from "opts", so any inference should be from "options" argument of the callback.
