Steps to reproduce

1. Run tsc
2. Receive error:

app/components/tree/tree.tsx:37:37 - error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'never'.

37   const { field } = useController({ name, defaultValue: [] });
                                       ~~~~

  node_modules/react-hook-form/dist/types/controller.d.ts:20:5
    20     name: TName;
           ~~~~
    The expected type comes from property 'name' which is declared here on type 'UseControllerProps<never[], never, never[]>'

app/components/tree/tree.tsx:37:43 - error TS2322: Type 'never[]' is not assignable to type 'undefined'.

37   const { field } = useController({ name, defaultValue: [] });
                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~

  node_modules/react-hook-form/dist/types/controller.d.ts:23:5
    23     defaultValue?: FieldPathValue<TFieldValues, TName>;
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The expected type comes from property 'defaultValue' which is declared here on type 'UseControllerProps<never[], never, never[]>'

app/components/tree/tree.tsx:46:26 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'.

46       if (value.includes(itemId)) {
                            ~~~~~~

app/components/tree/tree.tsx:47:9 - error TS2322: Type 'string[]' is not assignable to type 'never[]'.
  Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'never'.

47         value = without(value, itemId);
           ~~~~~

app/components/tree/tree.tsx:49:20 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'.

49         value.push(itemId);

I'm unable to get codesandbox to resolve with the latest versions of the various dependencies.

[lzlegg]

Yes, I also found this problem. Is the new version not forward compatible?

[httpete-broadcom]

Absolutely see this here with the latest version of ts and rhf.

[dbca-serkank]

this is breaking builds. don't we have transpiling checks? can we add it to the pipeline?

After upgrading to 7.64.0 or 7.65.0 the tsc command hangs and my project doesn't finish the build.
For some reason I get no output from tsc nor any errors.

Found that react-hook-form was the reason after upgrading package by package.
Using latest version of ts and react.

Problem lies on 7.64.0.

7.63.0 works fine
