Expected Behaviour

The ---@cast annotation should respect Lua scoping rules.

Actual Behaviour

Let's consider:

--- @class foo
--- @field a number

--- @class bar
--- @field b string

--- @type { [integer]: foo|bar }
local array = {}

for i, instance in ipairs(array) do
	if instance.a then
                -- First if block
		--- @cast instance foo
	end

	if instance.b then
                -- Second if block
	end
end

In the first if block, we cast the instance to the foo type. When hovering over the instance variable in the second if block we can see its type is foo. It would be expected for its type to be bar since the ---@cast happened in different scope.

Reproduction steps

1. Copy-paste the given example code into your text editor.
2. Hover over the instance variable in the second if block.
3. See the error in the popup.

Commencez par reproduire le problème avec l’exemple Lua fourni dans l’extension Visual Studio Code et examinez comment la vérification des types gère la portée des deux blocs if. C’est terminé lorsque le cast vers foo s’applique uniquement dans le premier bloc, tandis que l’instance du second bloc conserve le type inféré approprié au lieu de foo.
