(Upstream) [no-redeclare] error for declare namespace

[despian]

Using the declaration merging feature of TypeScript causes the no-redeclare rule to be triggered.

E.g.

declare namespace Foo {
...
}
declare const Foo: Bar

I couldn't find a rule upstream in typescript-eslint. Maybe it needs to be fixed there first. I'll create an issue there too.

Edit:
Found an existing issue: typescript-eslint#60

Edit: upstream issue merged into typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint#1856

Thank you for following through to upstream. I would work around using comments. Closing here.

[despian]

Yeah, I'm already using comments.

I'm guessing that the fix upstream will result in a new rule. Once available won't the standard rule need to be disabled and the new rule enabled in this project? Do you think it's worth keeping this issue open to keep track of that piece of work?

[mightyiam]

Sure, we could keep it open. I'll rename it.

it seems to have been closed upstream.
