💻 Code

function assingType(fn: Function, _ctx: ClassMethodDecoratorContext){
  
  let fnName = _ctx.name

  _ctx.addInitializer(function(this: {[key: string], any}) { // here is my sintaxis error
      // Invalid type annotation. The compiler should report a type error,
      // but instead it crashes with "Debug Failure".
      this[fnName.toString()] = fn.bind(this);
  })
  
  return function wrapper (this: any,...args: any ) : void{
    console.log(`class method mame ${fnName.toString()}`)
    fn.call(this, ...args)
  }

} 

class Hello {
  constructor(){

  }
  
  @assingType
  doSometing (): void{
    console.log("hello")
  }
}

🙂 Expected behavior

The TypeScript compiler should not crash.

If the code is invalid, the compiler should emit a normal type error instead of throwing a "Debug Failure" during compilation.

Additional information about the issue

This code does not crash in the TypeScript Playground. The Playground only reports normal type-checking errors.

However, when compiling locally with tsc (TypeScript 5.9.3), the compiler crashes with a "Debug Failure" during compilation.

A screenshot of the stack trace from the local tsc execution is attached.

Beginne mit dem bereitgestellten TypeScript-Code und reproduziere den Absturz lokal mit tsc 5.9.3. Vergleiche ihn anschließend mit dem Ergebnis im Playground. Verfolge den Stack ab visitEachChildOfIndexSignatureDeclaration und verwende die ungültige Index-Signatur-Annotation als fokussierten Fall. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn der Compiler einen normalen Typfehler meldet, anstatt Debug Failure auszulösen.
