React-select: TypeScript error: node_modules/@types/react-select/lib/components/indicators.d.ts(19,13): Error TS2314: Generic type 'ReactElement<P>' requires 1 type argument(s).

Reporting a bug

react 16.8.4
react-dom 16.8.4
react-select 2.4.3
@types/react-select 2.0.17
typescript 3.2.2

I get this error once I add the @types/react-select package to my project and then building (no error without the types package)

TypeScript error: node_modules/@types/react-select/lib/components/indicators.d.ts(19,13): Error TS2314: Generic type 'ReactElement<P>' requires 1 type argument(s).

Thanks!

This is certainly weird because https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/7c33a958277e53aa335dcddec28ebfe6502638ca/types/react-select/lib/components/indicators.d.ts line 19 says:

children: ElementType<any>,

So perhaps the npm package @types/react-select is out of date? (I am using 2.0.17)

Looks like moving back to 2.0.8 of the @types/react-select package solves this issue.

Note: You will then run into the problem outlined at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54698733/types-react-transition-group-generic-type-reactelementp-t-requires-betwee/56135556#56135556. Follow my answer there for how to resolve that as well and finally build.
