[emitDecoratorMetadata] TypeError: Cannot read property 'kind' of undefined

The following code crashes the compiler:

// File tmp.ts
class Injectable {

  constructor(...args: any[]) {
    console.log('args:', args);
  }

  static inject(clazz: any, injectables: string[]): void {
    console.log('clazz:', clazz, 'injectables:', injectables);
  }

}


function Inject(args: string[]): Function {
  return (target: any) => {
    Injectable.inject(target, args);
  };
}



@Inject(['a', 'b'])
class A extends Injectable {

  constructor(...injectables) {
    super(...injectables);
  }

}

// Without the decorator
// Injectable.inject(A, ['a', 'b']);

export default A;

It works fine without the --emitDecoratorMetadata. I have also tested in Version 1.9.0-dev.20160217 and I obtain the same error.

Andy (Andrewkraft) (@Andy-MS) can you take a look.

Here is a more compact example that makes the compiler crash

function inject(clazz: any, injectables: (string | any)[]): void {
  console.log('here...');
}


function Inject(args: string[]): Function {
  return (target: any) => {
    inject(target, args);
  };
}


@Inject(['a', 'b'])
class A {

  constructor(...args) {
    inject(this, args);
  }

}

export default A;

Again, this happens only when using the --emitDecoratorMetadata flag. Another way to fix this is to add the type to args, that is, if we declare the class like this:

@Inject(['a', 'b'])
class A {

  constructor(...args: any[]) {
    inject(this, args);
  }

}
