[valid-types] fails with type "this"

[danielrentz]

Expected behavior

A @returns declaration for class methods with type {this} used to work for a long time:

class Test {
  /**
   * @returns {this}
   */
  method() { return this; }
}

but fails after updating to v60.7. Is this a problem in this plugin, or in the underlying type parser?

Actual behavior

135:1  error  Syntax error in type: this  jsdoc/valid-types

ESLint Config

rules: {
  "jsdoc/valid-types": "error",
}

settings.jsdoc.mode is the default (i.e. typescript).

Environment

• Node version: 22.18
• ESLint version 9.37
• eslint-plugin-jsdoc version: 60.7

Thanks for the report. It was part of jsdoc-type-pratt-parser, but I've applied a fix there. The regression was due to our now checking for reserved keyword use in types (but not names/namepaths); this was one we needed to conditionally allow, however. Should be fixed in eslint-plugin-jsdoc by #1555 (plan to publish tomorrow).

Should now be fixed by #1555. Thanks for the report!

@brettz9 I can confirm it works again, thank you!
