[TS2742] The inferred type of '...' cannot be named without a reference to ...

It is not working if I try to export reducers/slices from a package.

Is this an actual TS issue?

Here's a possible reproduction

src/logic/client/user.ts:11:7 - error TS2742: The inferred type of 'userSlice' cannot be named without a reference to '../../../node_modules/@reduxjs/toolkit/dist/createSlice'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

emm, don't export nikkiSlice, only export nikkiReducer

It seems like in your case we have to export the CaseReducerDefinition interface from the main index.d.ts file.

Side note: It seems like if a type is exported from an internal .d.ts file, but not exported from index.d.ts, then the error becomes: The inferred type of 'nikkiSlice' cannot be named without a reference to '../../node_modules/@reduxjs/toolkit/dist/createSlice'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

But if that same type is not exported at all the error message becomes much clearer like this: Exported variable 'nikkiSlice' has or is using name 'CaseReducerDefinition' from external module "RTK-issue-3962/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@reduxjs/toolkit/dist/createSlice" but cannot be named.
which actually tells us which type is the problematic one.

@aryaemami59 that makes sense, thanks. i think we wouldn't be against exporting CaseReducerDefinition - in fact my open PR https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/pull/3894/files#diff-5278ccae8e99ae0373490ef372d1953e0f3da303d948485ef7e00bd7de7fffa3 exports more that we can export just in case.

@EskiMojo14 Wonderful, I have a list of types that need to be exported, thankfully they're not that many (as of now, might add more to the list if I discover more problems), will hopefully put up a PR soon for a partial fix.

Can you run this command and try again to see if it fixes the issue:

pnpm add https://pkg.csb.dev/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/commit/06a30ee4/@reduxjs/toolkit

It did fix the issue for me. Thank you.
