🕗 Version & Regression Information

• Static initialization blocks don't seem to be supported on versions <= 4.3.5
• From 4.4.2 to 4.6.4 everything seems to work fine - types are correct and no linting errors
• Every version from 4.7.2 onwards has the behaviour described in this issue

💻 Code

a.js:

export class A {
  static a() {}
}

b.js:

// @ts-check
import { A } from "./a";

/**
 * @extends A
 */
export class B extends A { // 'B' is referenced directly or indirectly in its own base expression.ts(2506)
  static {
    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)
  }

  constructor() {
    super();

    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)
  }

  b() {
    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)
  }

  c = () => {
    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)
  };

  static d() {
    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)
  }

  get e() {
    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)

    return;
  }

  set e(value) {
    B.a(); // Property 'a' does not exist on type 'typeof B'. ts(2339)
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

• Linting error under extending class's name: 'B' is referenced directly or indirectly in its own base expression..
• Linting error/unknown type for any use of B.a().

🙂 Expected behavior

B.a() type is correct across files with no linting errors.

Additional information about the issue

• Removing @extends fixes the issue
• Removing B.a() from the static block fixes the issue
• Defining A in the same file fixes the issue
