Description

This TypeScript code (a Jasmine test):

describe("array spread operator", function() {
    it('should be able to spread arguments', function() {
        let argumentsArray;
        function testFunction() {
            argumentsArray = [...arguments];
        }
        (testFunction as any)(1, 2, 3);
        expect(argumentsArray).toEqual([1, 2, 3]);
    });
});

runs successfully in browsers but IE.
In IE11, it fails with:

Expected $.length = 1 to equal 3.
Expected $[0] = [object Arguments] to equal 1.
Expected $[1] = undefined to equal 2.
Expected $[2] = undefined to equal 3.

I can see the ... array spread operator gets built into a call for helper __spread, thus submitting the issue here.

Browsers I tried:

  • Chrome 76.0.3809.100 64bit
  • Opera 62.0.3331.116
  • Firefox Quantum 68.0.1 64-bit
  • Internet Explorer 11.309.16299.0
  • Microsoft Edge 41.16299.248.0
