@mjbvz is this blocked on microsoft/TypeScript#20619?

No, shouldn't be. We just need a new TS 2.7 insiders build to pick up the fix

Basically TS made a change to return /** */ for jsdoc templates in invalid jsdoc locations . Previously they would only return real templates such as:

/**
 * @param foo 
 */

or undefined if the location for the request was not a valid jsdoc location.

We rely on undefined being returned as a signal that we should insert the default comment template:

/**
 *
 */
