Type 'import("sap/ui/core/Popup").Dock' is not assignable to type 'typeof Dock' using @sapui5/types: "1.126.0"

[JuanjoPP]

OpenUI5 version: 1.126.0

Browser/version (+device/version): not applicable

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Create a sap.m.MessageToast with the "at" property populated
2. Fill the "at" property with a sap.ui.core.Popup.Dock type variable

What is the expected result? The TypeScript checker does not throw an error

What happens instead? It throws an error

Any other information?

This is an incompatible change of the TypeScript definitions and was introduced in 1.115.0.
The change and how to deal with it, is explained in more detail in the UI5 TypeScript release notes for 1.115.

Basically, enums attached to other control or utility APIs are no longer named exports (Dock) but static properties of the default export of the bearing API (Popup.Dock).

The change was done to make static and dynamic imports consistent.

Hi,

I tried the change proposed and changed the import:

Unfortunately the error still appears.

You're right, the generation of the MessageToast.show API is broken. I've created SAP/ui5-typescript#466 as this needs to be fixed in the dts-generator.

The only workaround for now is a type cast (which unfortunately needs to be removed once the issue has been fixed):

  at: Popup.Dock.BeginBottom as unknown as typeof Popup.Dock

As this is not an issue in the OpenUI5 code base, I'm closing this issue here.
