Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

Go empty values are invalidly serialized as null instead of empty values. Consider the following snippet:

$ echo '{"field": "groups"}' | coder organization settings set org-sync
{
    "field": "groups",
    "mapping": null,
    "organization_assign_default": false
}

And in the UI we get "Can't convert null to object"

We can see that if we don't explicitly set the mapping field, it ends up being null instead of {}. This breaks the JavaScript client side.

Workaround:
A workaround right now is to explicitly set mapping to an empty value:

echo '{"field": "groups", "mapping": {}}' | coder organization settings set org-sync

The real solution is to convert empty Go maps to empty JSON objects instead of null.

The IdP sync settings for an organization have the same problem.

Expected Behavior

Missing entities, either null or {} should not cause fatal errors or should be automatically mapped to {} instead

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an 'null' group by using the org-sync function (https://coder.com/docs/reference/cli/organizations_settings_show_organization-sync)

• echo '{"field": "groups"}' | coder organization settings set org-sync

Environment

• Host OS:
• Coder version:
