UI5 linter gives "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error for defineProperty call

[codeworrior]

Expected Behavior

UI5 linter should process our project without running into an internal error.

Current Behavior

When executing the UI5 linter on one of our projects, we see a "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

I can't share internal URLs here. I'll provide the information via a different channel.

This is caused by the following kind of defineProperty call:

Object.defineProperty(globalThis, "myProp", {
	configurable: "false",
	writable: "true",
	value: window.location.search
});

If a call like this is contained in any file of the project (e.g. a test file), any other file that accesses window will run into a Maximum call stack size exceeded exception when calling the TypeScript checker#typeToString API here:

ui5-linter/src/linter/ui5Types/SourceFileLinter.ts

Line 360 in 508d81d

if (this.#checker.typeToString(nodeType) === "Window & typeof globalThis") {

I suspect this is a known TypeScript issue: microsoft/TypeScript#55889

Interestingly, there are multiple ways to work around it by changing the relevant code to any of the following options:

Option A

Use a variable

var locationSearch = window.location.search;
Object.defineProperty(globalThis, "myProp", {
	configurable: "false",
	writable: "true",
	value: locationSearch
});

Option B

Use window at both places

Object.defineProperty(window, "myProp", {
	configurable: "false",
	writable: "true",
	value: window.location.search
});

Option C

Use globalThis at both places

Object.defineProperty(globalThis, "myProp", {
	configurable: "false",
	writable: "true",
	value: globalThis.location.search
});
