…SDocFixed two issues:1. Variable shadowing bug in getRelevantTokens where contextToken was declared with := instead of assigned with =, causing it to remain nil2. Added nil checks in tryGetClassLikeCompletionSymbols to handle cases where contextToken is nilThese changes prevent the nil pointer dereference crash reported in the issue.Co-authored-by: DanielRosenwasser <972891+DanielRosenwasser@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
This PR fixes a nil pointer dereference panic that occurred when requesting completions at the beginning of a property name preceded by JSDoc in a class or interface. The crash was caused by variable shadowing ingetRelevantTokens that preventedcontextToken from being assigned to the return parameter, combined with missing nil checks intryGetClassLikeCompletionSymbols.
Key changes:
- Fixed variable shadowing by changing
:=to=ingetRelevantTokensto properly assign to the return parameter - Added defensive nil checks before accessing
contextToken.KindandcontextToken.Parentto prevent panics when contextToken is nil

We don't need to do all of those defensive checks in Strada, so we should not need them here, just need the actual fix that makes thecontextToken notnil.

Removed the defensive nil checks. The fix now only includes the variable shadowing correction ingetRelevantTokens (commit4c877f7).
Per code review feedback, removed defensive nil checks in tryGetClassLikeCompletionSymbolssince the actual fix (variable shadowing in getRelevantTokens) ensures contextToken isproperly set.Co-authored-by: DanielRosenwasser <972891+DanielRosenwasser@users.noreply.github.com>

this can't possibly do anything anymore...

You're right - the variable shadowing fix alone wasn't sufficient. The issue was thattryGetObjectTypeDeclarationCompletionContainer could return a non-nil declaration even whencontextToken was nil (specifically in the Identifier case at line 4166). I've added a nil check there:if contextToken != nil && isFromObjectTypeDeclaration(location) (commit27b3371).

@copilot Where are the tests? Also it looks like the PR may need to merge from upstream and run |

Requesting completions at the beginning of a property name preceded by JSDoc caused a nil pointer panic when accessing
contextToken.Kind.Root Causes
Variable shadowing in
getRelevantTokens: Used:=instead of=, creating a local variable that shadowed the return parameter, causingcontextTokento return nil.Missing nil check in
tryGetObjectTypeDeclarationCompletionContainer: The function could return a non-nil declaration even whencontextTokenwas nil (specifically in theKindIdentifiercase whenisFromObjectTypeDeclaration(location)is true), leading to a crash when the caller tried to accesscontextToken.Kind.Changes

The fixes ensure
contextTokenis correctly set and prevent accessing it when nil, resolving the crash while maintaining correct completion behavior.Original prompt
