Classes can't have unit fields?

[travisbrown]

minimized code

class UnitClass(val x: Unit)

object Test {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    println(new UnitClass(()))
  }
}

Compiles but fails at runtime

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: UnitClass.x
	at UnitClass.<init>(Test.scala:1)
	at Test$.main(Test.scala:5)
	at Test.main(Test.scala)

expectation

It works fine on Scala 2. It also works fine if you change the Unit to e.g. Int or String.

FWIW this isn't from the Cats tests but is something I ran into while trying to minimize the issue in #8035.

Oh, thanks, I should have looked more closely.
