[nigeleke]

Compiler version

3.2.0 & 3.2.1

Minimized code

object Foo extends Iterator[String]:
  override def hasNext: Boolean = ???
  override def next(): String        = ???

Output

First few lines of stack trace:

Expectation

An AssertionError is generated. The task completes with warning, but no documentation is generated. The stack trace is unexpected. I would expect documentation would be generated & no AssertionError.

Notes

sbt 1.7.1

The error only occurs with extends Iterator[String] and not other extends, e.g. extends Iterable[String].

Original reported here: https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/7065

Error also occurs with scaladoc command.
