undefined type is avoided in function param when it is used with an or operator

This issue has been tracked since 2023-02-22.

Search terms

undefined type, function parameters

Expected Behavior

when a param in a function interface has this signature:

failed: (
    job: Job | undefined,
    error: Error,
    prev: string,
  ) => void;

job parameter should appear with both possibilities in our docs, (Job | undefined)

Actual Behavior

undefined type is avoided when the documentation is generated. Only Job appears

Steps to reproduce the bug

Add a param in a function with a similar signature as previous example.

You probably have strictNullChecks turned off - in which case Job | undefined is equivalent to Job according to the compiler. I can't reproduce this with strict turned on. https://github.com/TypeStrong/typedoc-repros/actions/runs/4266319079
