A declaration emit error (TS4121): This member cannot have a JSDoc comment with an '@override' tag because its containing class 'X' does not extend another class.. This diagnostic is emitted by the TypeScript compiler when this member cannot have a JSDoc comment with an '@override' tag because its containing class 'X' does not extend another class..

Why it happens
  1. 1Incorrect TypeScript syntax or type usage
  2. 2Type mismatch between declared and actual value

// Triggers TS4121
// This member cannot have a JSDoc comment with an '@override' tag because its containing class 'X' does not extend another class.

expected output

error TS4121: This member cannot have a JSDoc comment with an '@override' tag because its containing class 'X' does not extend another class.

Fix

Implement all abstract members

WHEN Extending an abstract class

Implement all abstract members
abstract class Base {
  abstract doWork(): void;
}
class Derived extends Base {
  doWork(): void { /* implementation */ }
}

Why this works

All abstract members must be implemented in concrete subclasses.
