Hi @cloudshadow
Report is invalid because it's missing info bug I guess rootAction.someActions.success is not a correct string literal type.

Please follow the bug report template and I will reopen the issue.

provide a full working code example below including actions, reducers and your custom types used in the example.

Hi Piotrwitek

Ok I have found the reason, it's a reported bug in TypeScript: microsoft/TypeScript#29718

I would recommend to go there and ask in the issue when are they planning to fix it to show the interest coming from the community.

Related issue: #140

I have to update the documentation to highlight the bug and link to the TypeScript issue
