Comments lost in variable declarations

[pago]

In #544 support for patterns like

/**
 * Does foo!
 */
var foo = function() {};

export { foo }

has been added. However, the comment is lost and does not appear in the generated documentation.

I've tried to add it by adjusting addComments within lib/extractors/exported.js to the following:

function getComments(data, path) {
    if (!hasJSDocComment(path)) {
      if (t.isVariableDeclarator(path.parentPath.node)) {
        return getComments(data, path.parentPath);
      }
      if (t.isVariableDeclaration(path.parentPath.node) && path.parentPath.node.declarations.length === 1) {
        return getComments(data, path.parentPath);
      }
      var result = addBlankComment(data, path, path.node);
      return result ? [result] : [];
    }
    return path.node.leadingComments.filter(isJSDocComment).map(function (comment) {
      return addComment(data, comment.value, comment.loc, path, path.node.loc, true);
    }).filter(Boolean);
  }

which worked (in some cases) but also resulted in some duplicated documentation. Any hint on how to implement this?

Here is what happens... The binding for foo is a VariableDeclarator but the comment is attached to the VariableDeclaration. We need to find the comment on the parent path.

Patch is on its way.
