Monaco Editor Playground Code

const value = /* set from `myEditor.getModel()`: */ `function hello() {
	for (let foo of foo) { foo(); bar; };
}`;

// Hover on each property to see its docs!
const myEditor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
	value,
	language: "javascript",
	automaticLayout: true,
});

Reproduction Steps

Open the playground link and check the developer console.

Actual (Problematic) Behavior

An uncaught error is thrown.

Expected Behavior

No uncaught error.

Additional Context

We use monaco in our game to provide an in-game code editor. A player reported a problem with the in-game editor. In our game, we have a global exception handler. When monaco throws this uncaught error, an error popup is shown.

The MRE uses the player-provided script. I know that for (let foo of foo) { foo(); bar; }; is not valid JS code. Another example:

const a = [() => { }];
const b = 0;
for (const a of a) { a(); b }

This is still not valid JS code (ReferenceError: Cannot access 'a' before initialization), but having an uncaught error is unexpected.

It looks like that monaco is trying to "diagnose" the provided code, and this error is thrown by the TS worker. I'm not sure if this problem should be reported here or at https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript (the infinite recursion is in https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/main/src/compiler/checker.ts).
