What version of ESLint are you using?

8.49.0

What version of `eslint-plugin-svelte` are you using?

2.33.1

What did you do?

I encountered an interesting ESLint crash that appears to be an bad interaction between eslint-plugin-svelte, eslint-plugin-sonarjs, and @typescript-eslint/parser. Since the crash is primarily triggered by passing an argument to a Svelte action, I decided to file the issue here, though the actual cause may lie elsewhere!

With the sonarjs/no-unused-collection rule enabled, if the following conditions are met, ESLint will crash:

You have a Svelte component
Using lang="ts"
That import's a custom action
And attaches that action to an element
And passes an argument to that action

<script lang="ts">
  import { customAction } from "./action.js";
</script>

<p use:customAction={"hello"}>hello world</p>

The particular SonarJS rule above (to paraphrase) runs:

if (
  node.type === 'ExpressionStatement' &&
  node.expression.type === 'AssignmentExpression'
) {
  // ...
}

However, the following node gets passed to the rule:

Statement: {
  type: 'ExpressionStatement',
  directive: undefined,
  expression: null,
  range: [ 96, 145, [length]: 2 ],
  loc: { start: { line: 5, column: 20 }, end: { line: 6, column: 23 } },
  parent: {
    type: 'Program',
    // ...
  }
}

Since expression is null, expression.type crashes ESLint with TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'type'). I do not believe expression is allowed to be null, but I cannot figure out what exactly is producing this node.

What did you expect to happen?

Passing an argument to an imported custom Svelte action should not cause an ESLint crash, regardless of the plugins and rules I'm using.

What actually happened?

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

Additional comments

I'd be interested in narrowing this reproduction down further if it was helpful (e.g. with svelte-eslint-parser directly), but I'm having trouble figuring out how the Svelte parser interacts with @typescript-eslint/parser

sveltejs / eslint-plugin-svelte
