Error using flat config

[fractionalJoe]

Expected behavior

Enforce the check-access rule. Same issue occurs for any rule I've tried, not just check-access. This is just an example.

Actual behavior

Throws this exception:

> eslint .


Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint Config

// eslint.config.js New Flat Config
import ts from "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin";
import tsParser from "@typescript-eslint/parser";
import jsdoc from "eslint-plugin-jsdoc";

export default [
  {
    files: [
      "**/*.ts",
      "**/*.js",
    ],
    ignores: [
      "**/build/**",
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: tsParser,
      parserOptions: {
        ecmaVersion: 2020,
        sourceType: "module",
      },
    },
    plugins: {
      "@typescript-eslint": ts,
      jsdoc
    },
    rules: {
      "jsdoc/check-access": 1,
    },
  },
];

ESLint sample

/**
 * Strip all non-word characters out of string
 * @param {string} value The string value to be stripped
 * @returns {string} Stripped value
 */
const stripString = function(value: string): string {
  return value.replace(/(^\w)/, "");
};

Environment

• Node version: 18.14.2
• ESLint version 8.35.0
• eslint-plugin-jsdoc version: 40.0.0

[brettz9]

Since we can't get at the parserPath (per eslint/eslint#16878 ) (and since context.languageOptions?.parser doesn't currently have a property to expose the parser name), we are unable to auto-detect the name of the parser (e.g., as being @typescript-eslint/parser) and auto-entering our own TypeScript mode when flat config is used.

I could fix the immediate error, but we'll want to see about whether @typescript-eslint/parser is willing to add a name property to their parser so we could really get things working without the user needing to manually set settings.jsdoc.mode.

@brettz9 looks like should now be available in v5.55.0?

🎉 This issue has been resolved in version 40.0.2 🎉

The release is available on:

[brettz9]

The latest eslint-plugin-jsdoc should now be ok with @typescript-eslint/parser v5.55.0+ and eslint v8.36.0.
