common.js at lineno 65 addName calls to function addTypeToTag with null for 3rd argument:

function addName(comments, tagName, node, checker) {
    var tag = comments.getOrAddTag(tagName), nodeType = node.type, initializer = node.initializer;
    tag.name = utils.getNodeName(node);
    if (checker) {
        if (nodeType) {
            addTypeToTag(comments, tag, node, checker);
        }
        if (initializer && initializer.kind === 6 /* FirstLiteralToken */) {
            if (tagName === "member") {
                comments.getOrAddTag("default").name = initializer.getText();
            }
            else {
                tag.name += "=" + initializer.getText();
            }
        }
        if (initializer && !nodeType) {
            addTypeToTag(comments, tag, null, checker, initializer.contextualType);6
        }
    }
}

But addTypeToTag doesn't expect null for its 3rd arg (node):

function addTypeToTag(comments, tag, node, checker, type) {
    var nodeType = node.type;

Hi,

As of now, you should use ts2jsdoc only on declaration files (.d.ts). But the project is outdated and need some help to be upgraded to Typescript 1.8+

Thanks.
