Fix panic by restricting @overload to legal contexts in JSDoc #2221
Conversation

Add nil check for parent node to prevent panic when processing JavaScript files with JSDoc overload annotations. The panic occurred when parent was nil during type checking of parameters. Includes regression test with JSDoc @overload annotations. Co-authored-by: jakebailey <5341706+jakebailey@users.noreply.github.com>

This is just a band-aid fix. The real problem is that we have this chain of AST nodes: We should not have a method declaration that is a child of a source file! That does not make any sense. There must be an issue in the reparser's handling of overloads or something. |
The reparser was creating synthetic MethodDeclaration nodes for @overload tags and adding them to the top-level source file statements. This created invalid AST structures where a MethodDeclaration was a direct child of SourceFile (e.g., for methods in object literals). TypeScript's implementation keeps overload information in the JSDoc structure and retrieves it when needed by the checker/declaration emitter, rather than creating synthetic AST nodes that get added to reparseList. This fix removes the code that was creating these invalid synthetic nodes. The overload information remains in the JSDoc and can be accessed by future checker improvements.

Fixed in 7d45569. The reparser was incorrectly creating synthetic MethodDeclaration nodes for @overload tags and adding them to reparseList, which caused them to be appended as top-level SourceFile statements. This has been removed - overload information now stays in the JSDoc structure as in TypeScript's implementation. |

Well, that is certainly wrong. Do we even allow overloads on object literal methods in TypeScript? Is this just something we must ban in JS? @sandersn |
Address code review feedback: moved the comment explaining why JSDocOverloadTag is not handled to the top of the function for clarity. Co-authored-by: jakebailey <5341706+jakebailey@users.noreply.github.com>

@copilot This fix is too broad. We need to instead change the reparser to ban There are existing errors to this effect in the parser/reparser that ban things that can be looked at for an example. You'll know if you did it right if |
Instead of removing all overload handling, now restrict @overload to only legal contexts: function declarations and class/interface method declarations. Object literal methods are silently ignored to maintain compatibility with alternative @overload syntax. Also added nil check in checker.getConditionalFlowTypeOfType to prevent panic when synthetic overload nodes have nil parents. This restores function and class method overload support while preventing invalid AST structures from object literal methods. Addresses @jakebailey's feedback to make the fix more targeted.

Fixed in cf45e9c. Now only allows @overload on function declarations and class/interface methods. Object literal methods are silently ignored. Function overload baselines are restored as expected. |
Clarified the logic for determining valid @overload contexts by eliminating duplication and making the intent more explicit. Co-authored-by: jakebailey <5341706+jakebailey@users.noreply.github.com>

@copilot This should not be a silent error. We have a mechanism to issue JSDoc errors in parsing; use that. |
Clarified the nil parent handling with explicit if/else to avoid any potential confusion about short-circuit evaluation. Co-authored-by: jakebailey <5341706+jakebailey@users.noreply.github.com>
Instead of silently ignoring @overload tags on object literal methods, now reports error TS8110 using the parsing context to distinguish between class methods (allowed) and object literal methods (disallowed). Uses the PCObjectLiteralMembers parsing context flag to detect when we're parsing an object literal, allowing proper error reporting during the reparsing phase. Addresses @jakebailey's feedback to use the JSDoc error reporting mechanism. Co-authored-by: jakebailey <5341706+jakebailey@users.noreply.github.com>
Panic when type-checking JavaScript files with JSDoc
@overloadannotations, caused by invalid AST structures created by the reparser.Root Cause
The reparser was creating synthetic
MethodDeclarationnodes for ALL@overloadJSDoc tags, including those on object literal methods. This created invalid AST structures where aMethodDeclarationwas a direct child ofSourceFile(e.g., for methods in object literals), resulting in the panic:Changes
reparseUnhosted()to only create synthetic overload declarations for legal contexts:KindFunctionDeclaration)KindMethodDeclarationwhen not inPCObjectLiteralMembersparsing context)KindMethodSignature)@overloadtags on object literal methodsgetConditionalFlowTypeOfTypeto prevent panic when nodes have nil parentsExample
The following JavaScript now reports a parsing error instead of panicking:
Error:
error TS8110: A JSDoc '@overload' tag is not allowed in this context.Function declarations and class methods with
@overloadcontinue to work correctly with proper overload declarations generated in.d.tsfiles.Impact
This fix properly addresses the panic while maintaining full support for legal
@overloaduse cases in function and class/interface method declarations. Object literal methods with@overloadtags now receive appropriate parsing errors.Original prompt
