Can not remove all clients from a connection

[sergiught]

From auth0 created by mvanderlee: go-auth0/auth0#241

Description

Setting c.EnabledClients to an empty list causes it to be omitted from the actual update request and thus the field is not actually updated.

This is because omitempty omits empty slices as well. As found in EnabledClients []interface{} json:"enabled_clients,omitempty".
This appears to be related to golang/go#22480

I'm not familiar with GoLang, but maybe there is a way to omit nil in the MarshalJSON function in connection.py?

Package Version

v5.19.2

Affected Resources

• management.Connection

Sample Code

c := &management.Connection{
  EnabledClients = []interface{}
}
err = api.Connection.Update(connId, c, management.Context(ctx))

Expected Behavior

Should set EnabledClients to an empty list. i.e.: disable the connection for all clients

Actual Behavior

EnabledClients update is ignored, or if it's the only property set, the request actually fails.

Output

Error: 400 Bad Request: Payload validation error: 'Too few properties defined (0), minimum 1'

Also see auth0/terraform-provider-auth0#14 for references to other cases where the omitempty is the same underlying issue.

Closing this as this has now been fixed with https://github.com/auth0/go-auth0/releases/tag/v0.11.0.

To empty out all the clients from a connection we need to send the following payload.

noEnabledClients := make([]string, 0)
connection := &management.Connection{EnabledClients: &noEnabledClients}
api.Connection.Update(connection.GetID(), connection)
