Repro Code

const state: "expired" | "pending" = "pending";

function main() {
  return {
    type: `${state}Request` as `${typeof state}Request`
  };
}

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  rules: {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion": ["error"],
  },
};

tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
  }
}

Expected Result

The code should be fine as the type assertion changes the type from string to "expiredRequest" | "pendingRequest"

Actual Result

There was an error 5th line saying:

This assertion is unnecessary since it does not change the type of the expression. 5:11 - 5:56
