Default assigned generic type isn't generated

[KingSora]

• Version: 3.0.2
• Rollup Version: 2.76.0
• Operating System and version (if applicable): Windows 10
• Node Version (if applicable): 16.15.0
• Does it work with tsc (if applicable): Yes

Reproduction

I have two files: index.ts and SomeElse.ts:

// index.ts
export * from "./SomeElse";

// SomeElse.ts
export type SomeGeneric<T extends {} = any> = [string, T];

The input for rollup is the index.ts file. Note: if the input file would be SomeElse.ts (so the re-export isn't happening) the output would be correct.

Not very familiar with repl, but here is a link: https://replit.com/@KingSora/rollup-plugin-ts-bug The setup is actually really small, please just re-create it on your local machine if needed. Run npm run build to build the output.

Expected Behavior

The type is exported correctly:

type SomeGeneric<T extends {} = any> = [string, T];
export { SomeGeneric };

Actual Behavior

The type is exported without the default assigned type any:

type SomeGeneric<T extends {}> = [
    string,
    T
];
export { SomeGeneric };

@wessberg Do you know what or where the issue could be? I would be willing to fix it.

@wessberg I would also be willing to fix it, if you could provide some insights of what you think where the issue could be. Your plugin is really good!

It seems like the default type is preserved if you use typescript@4.6. None of 4.7.x worked, so probably something specific to 4.7.x?

I face the same issue too, with dependency versions: "rollup": "2.78.1", "rollup-plugin-ts": "3.0.2", "typescript": "4.7.4"

export type Dict<Value = string> = { [key: string]: Value };

was built to

type Dict<Value> = {
    [key: string]: Value;
};

The default type parameter was stripped away. It doesn't happen when running tsc.

if you're blocked by this, try typescript 4.6. It worked for us!

Thanks @tihuan, as you suggested, but instead of downgrading, I upgraded to "typescript": "4.8.2" and now it works. But 4.8.2 version of TS seems to introduce quite many breaking changes and deprecation notes. I saw these notes when I built my project.
