Fails to detect missing JSDoc for static class methods.

[Pik-9]

Expected behavior

ESLint should report a "Missing JSDoc comment" rule violation for the first function as well as for the static class function.

Actual behavior

It only reports the the first missing JSDoc, but not the undocumented static class function.

ESLint Config

Pretty much the standard configuration with the AirBnB style:

module.exports = {
  env: {
    browser: true,
    es2021: true,
    node: true,
  },
  extends: [
    'airbnb-base',
    'plugin:jsdoc/recommended-error',
  ],
  overrides: [
    {
      env: {
        node: true,
      },
      files: [
        '.eslintrc.{js,cjs}',
      ],
      parserOptions: {
        sourceType: 'script',
      },
    },
  ],
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 'latest',
    sourceType: 'module',
  },
  plugins: [
    'jsdoc',
  ],
  rules: {
  },
};

ESLint sample

function undocumentedFunction() {
  // This undocumented function will be reported.
  return 42;
}

class MyClass {
  static undocumentedStaticClassFunction() {
    // This one won't.
    return 'What does this function do? No one knows.';
  }
}

export { undocumentedFunction, MyClass };

Environment

• Node version: v18.18.2
• ESLint version v8.56.0
• eslint-plugin-jsdoc version: 48.1.0
• eslint-config-airbnb-base version: 15.0.0

You need to enable MethodDefinition under the require or contexts option:

    rules: {
      'jsdoc/require-jsdoc': ['error', {
        require: {
          MethodDefinition: true,
        },
      }]
    }

Closing as that should resolve, but feel free to comment further as needed.
