Error message of generics with default value is not clear

Description:

I had an issue where I had a class that was not generic, but should have a generic type with default value.
This case, where it apparently needed to have this generic was hard too discover because the error message is not very clear.

For example, when I have a class like:

export abstract class ActorExpressionEvaluatorFactory extends

that should have a generic type like:

export abstract class ActorExpressionEvaluatorFactory<TS = undefined> extends

I would get the exception:

error: Detected fatal error. Generated 'componentsjs-error-state.json' with more information.
      TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'term')
