devtools serialize not working since 5.0.11

Bug Description

Hi,

serialize is no longer working in devtools since v5.0.11. <5.0.10 is working.

Type error: Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'serialize' does not exist in type 'DevtoolsOptions'.

#3362 is the related change, and it's type only. Is it type only?

Let me investigate.

[pedroscosta]

casting it to any fixes it and it seems to work as expected, looks like it's type only

[dai-shi]

#3414 should fix. Can anyone confirm?

[gitsult4n]

It is type only
runtime still passes serialize through to the extension so only the compiler complains

DevtoolsOptions extends a Config type inferred from window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__.connect
when @redux-devtools/extension is not installed a fallback type is used instead
#3362 (shipped in v5.0.11) changed that fallback from (param: any) => any to (param: object) => object which rejects unknown keys like serialize
#3414 restored an any fallback and shipped in v5.0.12

So upgrade to v5.0.12 or later
or install the package the docs ask for

npm i -D @redux-devtools/extension

with it installed Config becomes the extension's real EnhancerOptions which declares serialize so the option is fully typed
