👋 @powercover! This change is intended, see #13546 and #14042

I'm not sure if my opinion will be the majority opinion or not, but this change should IMO warrant a major version bump, not just a patch version. Upgrading prettier to 2.8.2 breaks builds that were green before.

It's a regression in 1.19.

We're having this same issue. It introduces unexpected behavior. Also creates a massive war between prettier and eslint-config-prettier. The IDE displays an error while the CLI doesn't. At least an option to disable this would be nice.

EDIT:

Locking to 2.8.1 fixes it for now. As it trigger massive changes to our codebase. At least a major version warning would be nice.

Any way to disable this rule? I want to update the package in my project but this is resulting in wrong output.

const testObject = {
  first: 'a',
  second: ['first', 'second', 3]
}

typeof testObject.second[0]
// "string"

typeof testObject.second[2]
// "number"

(typeof testObject.second)[0]
// "o"

(typeof testObject.second)[2]
// "j"
