ambiguous proc call causes `nim doc` to fail if `--warnings|hints:off` is set

noahehall commented 1 year ago

Description

the good

nim doc somefile.nim successfully creates htmldocs even if ambiguous proc call is found

the bad

turning warnings/hints off when executing nim doc somefile.nim fails to create htmldocs if ambiguous proc call is found
passing --multimethods:on has no effect

Nim Version

Current Output

/home/poop/git/foss/nim/yolowurl/modules/tupleObjectTable.nim(394, 8) 
Error: ambiguous call; both yolowurl.collide(a: Thing, b: Unit) 
[method declared in /home/poop/git/foss/nim/yolowurl/modules/tupleObjectTable.nim(383, 8)]
 and yolowurl.collide(a: Unit, b: Thing) 
[method declared in /home/poop/git/foss/nim/yolowurl/modules/tupleObjectTable.nim(386, 8)] 
match for: (Unit, Unit)

Expected Output

I can disable hints/warnings and `nim doc ...` doesnt fail

Possible Solution

No response

Additional Information

copy the second runnable example from nim tutorial number 2 into somefile.nim
copy paste the below into a terminal (with either hints:off or warnings:off)

# FYI: dont enable these, ambiguous calls fails docgen
# --warnings:off
# --hints:off
# --multimethods:on # has no effect

read -r -d '' doc_opts <<'EOF'
--verbosity:0
--docInternal
--index:on
--project
EOF

filepath=somefile.nim

nim doc -b:c $doc_opts $filepath

Can't seem to reproduce

If I run without --multimethods:on it fails with the ambiguous error but using this command works

nim doc --multimethods:on --warnings:off --hints:off test.nim

Tried with both stable and devel
