Crash with `Cannot read property 'flags' of undefined` (union related?)

[haltcase]

TypeScript Version: 3.3.3 / 3.4.0-dev.20190209

crash union intersection cannot read property flags undefined

Code

Unfortunately this came up during a big refactor so I don't have a small repro case, but the next branch of trilogy reproduces it here:

1. git clone --single-branch --branch next https://github.com/citycide/trilogy.git
2. cd trilogy
3. npm install
4. ./node_modules/.bin/tsc

I reproduced on both Windows 10 & Ubuntu, plus my Travis CI suite. Interestingly VS Code's TS server doesn't show any errors at all and keeps type checking like normal.

Based on the call stack we can probably assume it's due to a union or intersection type somewhere but I don't know how to trace it back effectively.

Expected behavior:

Compile without crashing.

Actual behavior:

This error message is pretty common so there are a lot of issues referencing it, however they vary pretty wildly in the call stack: #28935, #27345, #25387, #25264, #15456, #19142, #2127

Here is minimal setup that reproduces the issue:

bug.ts

export const KeysOf = <T extends Record<string, any>>(object: T) =>
    Object.keys(object) as (keyof T extends string ? Array<keyof T> : never);

export const mapObject = <
    T extends Record<keyof T, any>,
    P2,
    P = T extends Record<keyof T, infer P> ? P : any
>(
    input: T,
    mapper: (prop: P, key: keyof T) => P2
) => {
    // tslint:disable-next-line:no-object-literal-type-assertion
    const newObject = {} as Record<keyof T, P2>;
    KeysOf(input).forEach(key => {
        newObject[key] = mapper(input[key], key);
    });
    return newObject;
};

export type NewLessType<
    C extends new (...args: A) => T,
    A extends any[] = C extends new (...args: infer R) => any ? R : never,
    T = C extends new (...args: A) => infer R ? R : never
> = (...args: A) => T;

type x = new (x: Pick<{ a: number }, 'a'>) => Pick<{ a: number }, 'a'>;
type x2 = new (z: Pick<{ b: number }, 'b'>) => Pick<{ b: number }, 'b'>;
type x3 = new (z: Pick<{ c: number }, 'c'>) => Pick<{ c: number }, 'c'>;

type x4 = NewLessType<x> | NewLessType<x2> | NewLessType<x3>;

const tt = {
    tick: null! as NewLessType<x>,
    tick2: null! as NewLessType<x2>,
    tick3: null! as NewLessType<x3>
};

const a = mapObject(
    {
        tick: null! as NewLessType<x>,
        tick2: null! as NewLessType<x2>,
        tick3: null! as NewLessType<x3>
    },
    x => (...args: any[]) => {
        x(...args);
    }
);

commands:

npm i typescript
node .\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc bug.ts

We get a very similar but different call stack. I've checked the various versions from 3.1.6 to 3.4.0-dev.20190227 and it has been consistently broken for us since 3.2.

The call stack when using 3.3.3333 is

This seems to be fixed with typescript@next

[XuluWarrior]

Unfortunately trying typescript@next (3.4.0-dev.20190313) didn't fix our compilation problems. I'll raise a new issue when I have time to provide some useful context.

[XuluWarrior]

I haven't managed to reduce our issue to a minimum reproduction. But I have created a letter-box fix (#30596) which works for us.

What can I do to assist turning this into a complete PR/fix?
