When we navigate to the Parameter node, we have a real, non-reparsed identifier at [42..43) that we can find.

When it's skipped, there's NO other path to the identifier. + +## Step 5: The Solution + +The issue is that when navigating into a JSDoc type assertion, we need to be able to navigate through reparsed nodes to reach the actual identifiers within them.

However, @andrewbranch correctly pointed out that: -- Identifiers are NEVER allowed in the trivia of nodes -- JSDoc nodes should be fully-formed subtrees with their identifiers accounted for in the AST -- The panic is there for a reason and should not be removed - -## Investigation Plan - -1. Understand how JSDoc nodes are structured in the AST -2. Compare working JSDoc cases (that don't panic) with the failing JSDoc type assertion case -3. Identify why the identifier is appearing in trivia for type assertions but not other JSDoc constructs -4. Find the root cause and proper fix - -## Step 1: Understanding the AST Structure - -From the test output, here's what I observed: - -### Case 1: JSDoc Type Assertion (The Failing Case) -``` -KindParenthesizedExpression [31..54) Flags=0x210000 - JSDoc: KindJSDoc [31..51) - KindAsExpression [52..53) - KindIdentifier [52..53) - KindStringKeyword [42..48) -``` - -Key observations: -- The `ParenthesizedExpression` has the `HasJSDoc` flag (0x200000 in Flags=0x210000) -- The JSDoc is at [31..51), which includes the `/**@type {string}*/` part -- The JSDoc is attached as metadata to the `ParenthesizedExpression` -- The `AsExpression` starts at position 52 (the identifier `x`) -- The `StringKeyword` at [42..48) is from inside the JSDoc comment - -### Case 2: Regular JSDoc Comment (Works Fine) -``` -KindFunctionDeclaration [0..62) Flags=0x210000 - JSDoc: KindJSDoc [0..28) - KindIdentifier [37..41) - KindParameter [42..43) - KindIdentifier [42..43) - KindStringKeyword [15..21) -``` - -Key observations: -- The JSDoc is properly attached to the `FunctionDeclaration` -- The `StringKeyword` at [15..21) is also from the JSDoc -- The parameter identifier at [42..43) is a separate node - -## Step 2: Identifying the Problem - -**ROOT CAUSE FOUND!** - -When `getTokenAtPosition` is called with position 52 (the identifier `x`): - -1. It starts at `ParenthesizedExpression` [31..54) -2. Calls `VisitEachChildAndJSDoc`, which: - - First visits JSDoc children if `HasJSDoc` flag is set (the JSDoc is at [31..51), doesn't contain position 52) - - Then visits regular children via `VisitEachChild` (the `AsExpression` at [52..53)) -3. The `AsExpression` IS visited, and `testNode` would return 0 (match) -4. **BUT** - the `visitNode` function has this check: - ```go - if node != nil && node.Flags&ast.NodeFlagsReparsed == 0 && next == nil { - ``` -5. The `AsExpression` has Flags=0x10008, which includes `NodeFlagsReparsed` (0x8) -6. Because the Reparsed flag is set, `visitNode` **skips the AsExpression entirely**! -7. Since no child is found, the function falls back to using the scanner -8. The scanner scans from `left` (which is after the JSDoc) and encounters the identifier `x` -9. The code panics because it doesn't expect an identifier in trivia - -## Step 3: Understanding "Reparsed" Nodes - -The `NodeFlagsReparsed` flag is used to mark nodes that are created from reparsing JSDoc comments. When a JSDoc type annotation like `/**@type {string}*/` is encountered, it gets "reparsed" into proper AST nodes (in this case, an `AsExpression`). - -The problem is that `getTokenAtPosition` explicitly skips reparsed nodes during traversal: -```go -if node != nil && node.Flags&ast.NodeFlagsReparsed == 0 && next == nil { -``` - -This is intentional - reparsed nodes represent synthetic AST nodes created from JSDoc, and their positions overlap with the JSDoc comment text. The code is designed to skip them to avoid confusion. - -However, in the case of JSDoc type assertions, the `AsExpression` is the ONLY child of the `ParenthesizedExpression` (besides the JSDoc itself). When it's skipped, there's no other child to navigate to, so the scanner kicks in and finds the identifier. - -## Step 4: Comparing with Working JSDoc Cases - -Let me check how other JSDoc cases work: - -**Case 2: Regular @param tag** -``` -KindFunctionDeclaration [0..62) - JSDoc: KindJSDoc [0..28) - KindParameter [42..43) - KindIdentifier [42..43) - KindStringKeyword [15..21) <-- Reparsed node, but it's inside the Parameter -``` - -In this case, the `StringKeyword` (the type from JSDoc) is a child of the `Parameter` node. When we navigate to the Parameter node, we have a real, non-reparsed identifier at [42..43) that we can find. The reparsed `StringKeyword` is a sibling, not the only path to the identifier. - -**Case 1: JSDoc type assertion (failing)** -``` -KindParenthesizedExpression [31..54) - JSDoc: KindJSDoc [31..51) - KindAsExpression [52..53) <-- Reparsed node, ONLY child - KindIdentifier [52..53) -``` - -In this case, the `AsExpression` IS the only child (besides the JSDoc). When it's skipped, there's NO other path to the identifier. - -## Step 5: The Solution (Revised) - -After feedback from @andrewbranch, the solution was refined to be more targeted. Instead of a general fallback mechanism for all reparsed nodes, the fix specifically handles `AsExpression` and `SatisfiesExpression`. - -**Key Insight:** `AsExpression` and `SatisfiesExpression` are special cases among reparsed nodes. While most reparsed nodes are synthetic and exist outside the "real" tree with no real position in the file, these two node kinds can have the `Reparsed` flag when they come from JSDoc type assertions, but their `.Expression` child should still be visited. - -**The Fix:** Modify `visitNode` to special-case `AsExpression` and `SatisfiesExpression`: - -1. Check if a node is `AsExpression` or `SatisfiesExpression` when deciding whether to skip reparsed nodes -2. When we navigate into one of these special nodes, set an `allowReparsed` flag that allows visiting all their reparsed children -3. This allows recursive navigation through the reparsed tree structure to reach the actual identifier - -The logic: -```go -// Skip reparsed nodes unless: -// 1. The node itself is AsExpression or SatisfiesExpression, OR -// 2. We're already inside an AsExpression or SatisfiesExpression (allowReparsed=true) -isSpecialReparsed := node.Flags&ast.NodeFlagsReparsed != 0 && - (node.Kind == ast.KindAsExpression || node.Kind == ast.KindSatisfiesExpression) - -if node.Flags&ast.NodeFlagsReparsed == 0 || isSpecialReparsed || allowReparsed { - // Process the node -} -``` - -When we navigate into an `AsExpression` or `SatisfiesExpression`, we set `allowReparsed = true` for the next iteration, which allows their reparsed children (like the identifier) to be visited. - -## Implementation - -The changes made to `internal/astnav/tokens.go`: - -1. Added `allowReparsed` flag to track when we're inside an AsExpression or SatisfiesExpression -2.
