How does Typescript ESDoc measure comment coverage?

[mgithubmessier]

I am writing in Angular4 and Typescript with the esdoc-coverage-plugin and esdoc-typescript-plugin.

In my codebase, every method, class, and member have a comment block in this form: /** @method methodName * @desc method description * @param {type} paramName - description of paramName * @returns {type} */ methodName(param: type) { /** the if statement does this */ if(something) { doSomething(); } else { doSomethingElse(); } }

Some files reach 100% with this format, other files are stuck at 40%. Even after putting in placeholder comments above each line of code, even documenting each if-else branch in detail, I cannot raise the coverage. What am I missing?

I cannot provide a physical snippet of the code, but I can try and answer any follow up questions you have if you need more information to give me an answer, thank you.
