Description

I'm trying to customize my 404 experience, but the handler return type for setNotFoundHandler is complaining. Everything works as expected when I @ts-ignore the line so I think this is just a bug in the type system. I have a similar handler for my index / route and it does not have the typescript error.

The complete TypeScript error is:

Argument of type '(request: FastifyRequest<RouteGenericInterface, Server<typeof IncomingMessage, typeof ServerResponse>, IncomingMessage, ... 4 more ..., ResolveFastifyRequestType<...>>, reply: FastifyReply<...>) => FastifyReply<...> | ... 1 more ... | { ...; }' is not assignable to parameter of type '(request: FastifyRequest<RouteGenericInterface, Server<typeof IncomingMessage, typeof ServerResponse>, IncomingMessage, ... 4 more ..., ResolveFastifyRequestType<...>>, reply: FastifyReply<...>) => void | Promise<...>'.
  Type 'FastifyReply<RawServerDefault, IncomingMessage, ServerResponse<IncomingMessage>, RouteGenericInterface, unknown, FastifySchema, FastifyTypeProviderDefault, unknown> | "Not found\n" | { ...; }' is not assignable to type 'void | Promise<unknown>'.
    Type 'FastifyReply<RawServerDefault, IncomingMessage, ServerResponse<IncomingMessage>, RouteGenericInterface, unknown, FastifySchema, FastifyTypeProviderDefault, unknown>' is not assignable to type 'void | Promise<unknown>'.
      Type 'FastifyReply<RawServerDefault, IncomingMessage, ServerResponse<IncomingMessage>, RouteGenericInterface, unknown, FastifySchema, FastifyTypeProviderDefault, unknown>' is missing the following properties from type 'Promise<unknown>': catch, finally, [Symbol.toStringTag]ts(2345)

Do any current type maintainers have an idea what the fix is?

Steps to Reproduce

import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';
import { dirname, join } from 'node:path';
import fastify from 'fastify';

const app = fastify({
  logger: true,
});

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

void app.register(import('@fastify/accepts'));
void app.register(import('@fastify/static'), {
  root: join(__dirname, '../public'),
});

// TypeScript fails here at `handler` 
app.setNotFoundHandler(function handler(request, reply) {
    const accept = request.accepts();
    switch (accept.type(['html', 'json'])) {
      case 'html': {
        void reply.type('text/html');
        return reply.sendFile('404.html');
      }
      case 'json': {
        void reply.type('application/json');
        return {"message":`Route ${request.method}:${request.url} not found`,"error":"Not Found","statusCode":404}
      }
      default: {
        void reply.code(404);
        return 'Not found\n';
      }
    }
})

// But TypeScript does not fail here
app.get('/', function handler(request, reply) {
  const accept = request.accepts();
  switch (accept.type(['html', 'json'])) {
    case 'html': {
      void reply.type('text/html');
      return reply.sendFile('index.html');
    }
    case 'json': {
      void reply.type('application/json');
      return { data: `Welcome to my app!` };
    }
    default:
      return `Welcome to my app!\n`;
  }
});

export { app };

Expected Behavior

I expect TypeScript not to fail.
