[Bug]: `@storybook/test` exports `any` types for `userEvent`

[skratchdot]

Describe the bug

In v8, all the types for userEvent from @storybook/test are typed as any instead of keeping/wrapping the @testing-library/user-event types during instrumentation.

@storybook/test:

@testing-library/user-event:

To Reproduce

on a codebase that implements the @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call lint rule, upgrade from @storybook/jest and @storybook/testing-library to use @storybook/test instead. notice all the new eslint errors:

error  Unsafe call of an `any` typed value  @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call

due to userEvent

@kasperpeulen I am pretty sure you would have avoided any if possible. Do you know why we type all these properties with any?

[Christian-Garrison]

I'm also getting this error, here are some relevant screenshots and using latest version of @storybook/test: ^7.6.6

[skratchdot]

I updated my description and title to point out that this is an issue for v8. ~i think v7.6 "works".~ actually, @Christian-Garrison pointed out that 7.6 is not working.

[Christian-Garrison]

@skratchdot Hey-O so v7.6.x is the current version I've been using and it has the same type issues.

Feel free to refer to my comment to update the title and description.

Same here. The userEvent type looks correct though: in spite of hovering indicating any, when I follow the definition, the IDE gets me to a proper one: ->

So there seems to be a problem with eslint/TS processing the referenced definitions.

Can be related to this: https://github.com/testing-library/user-event/discussions/978.

@testing-library/user-event@14.3.0 alone also throws weird TS errors:

TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '@testing-library/user-event'. 'xxx/node_modules/@testing-library/user-event/dist/index.mjs' implicitly has an 'any' type.   There are types at 'xxx/node_modules/@testing-library/user-event/dist/types/index.d.ts', but this result could not be resolved when respecting package.json "exports". The '@testing-library/user-event' library may need to update its package.json or typings.

That error is fixed by the version 14.5.2, but sadly pinning it in the project so that @storybook/test uses that version as well, does not help in getting rid of the anys error.

Ok I managed to fix it with this change:

@jalooc - thanks!

i used the following package.json changes:

  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "@testing-library/user-event": "^14.5.2"
    },
    "patchedDependencies": {
      "@storybook/test@7.6.7": "patches/@storybook__test@7.6.7.patch"
    }
  }

the patchedDependencies section was auto-added when i ran pnpm patch @storybook/test@7.6.7.

my patches/@storybook__test@7.6.7.patch file is:

I am still seeing errors even with 8.0.0-alpha.10 so I commented here: https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/pull/25547#issuecomment-1892702725

[manavm1990]

Respectfully @kasperpeulen NS 😕 why this is closed? Have I missed something?

import { userEvent, waitForElementToBeRemoved, within } from "@storybook/test";

I just merged a PR that should fix this: https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/issues/25853

Shall be part of beta.3.
