[jaspersival]

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas as pd


def test_groupby_any():
    df = pd.DataFrame(
        {
            "ids": ["id1", "id1", "id2", "id2"],
            "A": [True, False, pd.NA, True]
        }
    ).astype({"ids": pd.StringDtype(),
              "A": pd.BooleanDtype()})

    result = df.groupby("ids").any(skipna=True)

    expected = pd.DataFrame(
        {
            "A": [True, True]
        }, index=pd.Series(["id1", "id2"], name="ids")
    )

    pd.testing.assert_frame_equal(expected, result)

Problem description

When running df.groupby(field_to_group_on).any(skipna=True) it should be expected that pd.NA values are neglected for the .any() method. However the output is this:

self =
[True, False, , True]
Length: 4, dtype: boolean
dtype = dtype('bool'), copy = True

def astype(self, dtype, copy: bool = True) -> ArrayLike:
    """
    Cast to a NumPy array or ExtensionArray with 'dtype'.

    Parameters
    ----------
    dtype : str or dtype
        Typecode or data-type to which the array is cast.
    copy : bool, default True
        Whether to copy the data, even if not necessary. If False,
        a copy is made only if the old dtype does not match the
        new dtype.

    Returns
    -------
    ndarray or ExtensionArray
        NumPy ndarray, BooleanArray or IntegerArray with 'dtype' for its dtype.

    Raises
    ------
    TypeError
        if incompatible type with an BooleanDtype, equivalent of same_kind
        casting
    """
    from pandas.core.arrays.string_ import StringDtype

    dtype = pandas_dtype(dtype)

    if isinstance(dtype, BooleanDtype):
        values, mask = coerce_to_array(self, copy=copy)
        if not copy:
            return self
        else:
            return BooleanArray(values, mask, copy=False)
    elif isinstance(dtype, StringDtype):
        return dtype.construct_array_type()._from_sequence(self, copy=False)

    if is_bool_dtype(dtype):
        # astype_nansafe converts np.nan to True
        if self._hasna:

          raise ValueError("cannot convert float NaN to bool")

E ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to bool

Expected Output

    expected = pd.DataFrame(
        {
            "A": [True, True]
        }, index=pd.Series(["id1", "id2"], name="ids")
    )

Output of pd.show_versions()

Hi @Achilles2308, thanks for the report! Can confirm this is broken on master, looks like an issue for any extension type
