What is the issue affecting?

Type Checking

Expected Behaviour

Optional value to actually be optional

Actual Behaviour

It's not optional.

This code block should show as Human? and throw warnings for not checking nil. If I manually annotate with ---@param man Human? this works as expected.

The class in question:

---@class Command
---@field info string What the command does.
---@field usage string? How to use the command.
---@field alias string[]? Aliases of the command.
---@field canCall (fun(player: Player): boolean)? Function which checks whether a player can call this command.
---@field call fun(player: Player, human: Human?, args: string[]) Calls the command.
---@field autoComplete fun(args: string[])? Function which manipulates arguments when pressing tab in the terminal.
---@field cooldownTime number? How many seconds a player has to wait before using the command again.

I have also tried with human?: Human and human?: Human? but neither way works.

Reproduction steps

1. Create class with a field with a short form function declaration with an optional value parameter
2. Attempt to create object of class with that field,
3. Parameter correctly types, except as not optional.

Inizia riproducendo l’esempio di campo della classe nell’estensione Visual Studio Code, concentrandoti sulla dichiarazione di funzione in forma breve con un parametro Human nullable. Confrontalo con il caso annotato manualmente ---@param man Human?; è completato quando il parametro viene inferito come opzionale e compaiono gli avvisi sui controlli nil descritti.
