@description JSDoc tag interferes with callback parameter documentation #37346

Open

Description

@minestarks

TypeScript Version: 3.8.3

Search Terms: jsdoc param

Expected behavior:
Below code creates no errors, type of x is recognized as (value: number) => boolean

Actual behavior:
Type of x is () => boolean, the invocation creates a type error.

Removing the @description tag makes the code work as expected.

My interpretation of https://jsdoc.app/tags-description.html is that you should be able to place @description anywhere in the comment without interfering with other tags:

By using the @description tag, you can place the description anywhere in the JSDoc comment.

Code

// @ts-check

/**
 * @callback IterablePredicate
 * @description return true if given element of iterable matches an internal condition
 * @param {number} value the current item being evaluated
 * @returns {boolean} true if the entry satisfies given condition
 **/

/**
 * @type {IterablePredicate}
 */
let x;
x(3) // Expected 0 arguments, but got 1.
