💻 Code

type Type = {
  id: number;
};

type InferenceInfo = {
  typeParameter: Type;
  impliedArity?: number;
};

declare function getInferenceInfoForType(type: Type): InferenceInfo | undefined;

function fn1(t1: Type, t2: Type) {
  let info = getInferenceInfoForType(t1);
  if (info?.impliedArity !== undefined) {
    info.impliedArity; // ok
  } else if ((info = getInferenceInfoForType(t2))?.impliedArity !== undefined) {
    info.impliedArity; // 'info' is possibly 'undefined'.(18048)
  }
}

function fn2(t1: Type, t2: Type) {
  let info = getInferenceInfoForType(t1);
  if (info?.impliedArity !== undefined) {
    info.impliedArity; // ok
  } else if ((info = getInferenceInfoForType(t2))?.impliedArity) {
    info.impliedArity; // ok
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

The second branch in fn1 contains an error

🙂 Expected behavior

I'd expect this to be narrowed just fine - like the first branch and the second branch in fn2
