declare module'test'{classC{}export=C}declareconstf:<T>(x:any)=>anyf<import('test')>(1)

Expected Result

No errors becausef<import('test')>1 isn't valid syntax.

Actual Result

8:18  error  Unnecessary parentheses around expression  @typescript-eslint/no-extra-parens

Additional Info

This seems to be because ofgetParentSyntaxParen used inisParentheszied in eslint-utils. Normally, the1 inf(1) isn't considered to be parenthesised because the( to the left of1 is the same the first( afterf. Withf<import('test')>(1), the first( afterf is the one used inimport('test'), so1 is reported for being an unnecessarily parenthesised literal.

This function is used in ESLint inisParenthesized ->hasExcessParensWithPrecedence ->checkCallNew.

This could be fixed by reducing the precedence of the argument node.
