Failed gathering comments in LitElement component

[yveslange]

The comment is not added to the resulting markdown output.

☠ Failing usecase: » file: src/first-compo.js

import { html, css, LitElement } from 'lit-element';

@customElement('first-compo')
export class FirstCompo extends LitElement {
  static get properties() {
    return {
      /**
       * This is my comment for the property `foo`
       */
      foo: {
        type: String,
      },
    };
  }

constructor()  {
  this.foo = "init foo";
}

✓ Working usecase 1:

  static get properties() {
    return {
      /**
       * This is my comment for the property `foo`
       */
      foo: {
        type: String,
      },
    };
  }

constructor()  {
  // initialization removed
}

Here the This is my comment for the property foo will be used

✓ Working usecase 2:

  static get properties() {
    return {
      /**
       * This is my comment for the property `foo`
       */
      foo: {
        type: String,
      },
    };
  }

constructor()  {
   /**
     * My comment for foo in the constructor
     */
   this.foo = "something"
}

Here, the My comment for foo in the constructor will be used

It seems that if

• there is no initialization (this.foo = ...) in the constructor of a property, the comment of the properties is added correctly
• there is the comment in the constructor, the comment from the constructor is added correctly and the comment of the properties is ignored.
• there is a comment in the properties and an initialization without a comment, the comment is not added at all

I would suggest to use the comment from the properties instead of nothing.
