TypeError: Cannot read property 'match' of undefined

[jdsutton]

Code and documentation are confidential and proprietary.

Problem arises when running node_modules/documentation/bin/documentation.js build --format=html --output=documentation $(DOCS_TMP) via make.

Expected result: Documentation built in ./documentation without error.

Actual result:

Would be great if the error could at least show the file and line where this comes from in my source, so I could get back to generating docs.

Here is the offending comment:

*
 * @class
 * @param {String[]} labels.
 * @param {String[]} containerIds.

It appears the error is caused by the improper '.' directly after the parameter name.

Could have been caught by the lint command, but the same error occurs using that as well.

Yes, it was also a . that was in an inappropriate tag (@class in my case).
