Description

with variable "FOO" {}, I think that FOO should evaluate to null, not an empty string.

Expected behaviour

variable "foo" {}

target "default" {
  args = {
    isNull = equal(foo, null)
    isEmptyString = equal(foo, "")
  }
}

$ bake --print

{
  "target": {
    "default": {
      "context": ".",
      "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
      "args": {
        "isEmptyString": "false",
        "isNull": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Actual behaviour

variable "foo" {}

target "default" {
  args = {
    isNull = equal(foo, null)
    isEmptyString = equal(foo, "")
  }
}

$ bake --print

{
  "target": {
    "default": {
      "context": ".",
      "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
      "args": {
        "isEmptyString": "true",
        "isNull": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}
