Done this way because this is not possible.

// tslint:disable-next-line:no-any
export class MockPromise<T = any> extends Promise<T> {
  private _resolve: (value?: T | PromiseLike<T>) => void;
  // tslint:disable-next-line:no-any
  private _reject: (reason?: any) => void;

  constructor() {
    // tslint:disable-next-line:no-any
    super((resolve: (value?: T | PromiseLike<T>) => void, reject: (reason?: any) => void) => {
      // this is undefined here.
      this._resolve = resolve;
      this._reject = reject;
    });
  }

  public resolve(value?: T | PromiseLike<T>): void {
    this._resolve(value);
  }

  // tslint:disable-next-line:no-any
  public reject(reason?: any): void {
    this._reject(reason);
  }
}
