Making Sense of ‘No Shadowed Variable’ tslint Warning

The linter complains because you are redefining the same variable multiple times. Thus replacing the ones in the closure containing it.

Instead of redeclaring it just use it:

private getNextStageStep(currentDisciplineSelected) {
    let nextStageStep = '';
        if (this.stageForDiscipline(this.currentDisciplineSelected) === 'step 1') {
             nextStageStep = 'step 2';
        } else if (this.stageForDiscipline(this.currentDisciplineSelected) === 'step 2') {
             nextStageStep = 'step 3';
        } else if (this.stageForDiscipline(this.currentDisciplineSelected) === 'step 3') {
             nextStageStep = 'step 4';
        } else if (this.stageForDiscipline(this.currentDisciplineSelected) === 'step 4') {
             nextStageStep = 'step 5';
        } else if (this.stageForDiscipline(this.currentDisciplineSelected) === 'step 5') {
             nextStageStep = 'step 6';
    }
    return nextStageStep;
}
