Missing alternatives for types containing nested tuples #5399

Open sander2 opened 1 year ago

sander2 commented 1 year ago

See the discussion in https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/pull/5395.

Tl;dr: not all alternatives are created by the type generator when the type contains nested tuples.

These are most-probably tricky without getting yourself into knots. And not getting into knots is why enums still have aka { Key: any }. Anyway, if this does become a problem immediately, we probably can also do a any solution inside the []'s as an interim stopgap like we do with enums.

(Although we know the "stopgap" will also last a while. Granted, I have not looked in ages, it could have been pure lazyness on my side at original implementation time...)
