Definitelytyped: [enzyme] Compiler error: Generic type 'ReactElement<P, T>' requires between 1 and 2 type arguments

• [x] I tried using the @types/enxyme package and had problems.
• [x] I tried using the latest stable version of tsc. https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript
• [ ] I have a question that is inappropriate for StackOverflow. (Please ask any appropriate questions there).

Using:

• TypeScript 3.3.3
• @types/react 16.8.2
• @types/enzyme 3.1.18

I get several compiler errors like this in enzyme's .d.ts file:

node_modules/@types/enzyme/index.d.ts:60:20 - error TS2707: Generic type 'ReactElement' requires between 1 and 2 type arguments.

60 contains(node: ReactElement | ReactElement[] | string): boolean;

This problem seems to be new to @types/enzyme 3.1.18. If I revert to version 3.1.17, then ReactElement<any> is used throughout the type definitions, which compiles successfully.

@UselessPickles it appears that this is due to the alphabetical sequence of publishing. The enzyme types are looking for a version of react types that doesn't exist yet. You can watch the bot publish here -> https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/32990

@UselessPickles It appears that @types/react 16.8.2 has been published. I'm betting your issue no longer repro's and this can be closed.

Looks like I just picked the wrong time to upgrade all my NPM dependencies :)

I now have @types/react 16.8.3 and @types/enzyme 3.1.18 and can confirm the problem is solved. Thanks!

@pavanjava I believe ReactElement requires a type argument: React.ReactElement<T>. Are you looking for React.ReactNode?
