Unmarshaling error in IdentityProviderApplicationUser.Profile field when calling ListIdentityProviderApplicationUsers #516
Description
Describe the bug?
The IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct in the Okta Go SDK v5 has an issue with the Profile field deserialization. When calling ListIdentityProviderApplicationUsers, the API returns JSON with a nested object in the profile field, but the SDK fails to unmarshal it with an error:
json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field _IdentityProviderApplicationUser.profile of type map[string]interface {}I believe the IdentityProviderApplicationUser type should be map[string]interface{} instead map[string]map[string]interface{}
okta-sdk-golang/okta/model_identity_provider_application_user.go
Lines 31 to 40 in ffc6fb8
What is expected to happen?
The SDK should correctly unmarshal the JSON response into the IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct, with the Profile field properly populated as a map[string]interface{} containing all the profile attributes from the JSON response.
What is the actual behavior?
The SDK throws a JSON unmarshaling error when processing the response:
json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field _IdentityProviderApplicationUser.profile of type map[string]interface{}
Reproduction Steps?
Use the Okta Go SDK v5.0.5
Create a client with proper authentication
Call the following code:
func ListIdpUsers(client *okta.APIClient, idpId string) {
ctx := context.Background()
users, resp, err := client.IdentityProviderAPI.ListIdentityProviderApplicationUsers(ctx, idpId).Execute()
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("Response: %+v\n", resp)
}Additional Information?
fix IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct like this with change related function and boom! works
type IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct {
Created *string `json:"created,omitempty"`
ExternalId *string `json:"externalId,omitempty"`
Id *string `json:"id,omitempty"`
LastUpdated *string `json:"lastUpdated,omitempty"`
Profile map[string]interface{} `json:"profile,omitempty"`
Embedded map[string]map[string]interface{} `json:"_embedded,omitempty"`
Links *LinksSelf `json:"_links,omitempty"`
AdditionalProperties map[string]interface{}
}
