panic when field of type map[string]any is in the struct

[lev112]

given this struct

type MyStruct struct {
    A string
    B map[string]any
}

the following code will fail

var base MyStruct
err := faker.FakeData(&base) 

with an error:

interface{} not allowed

(this is how I would expect it to behave)

if I try to ignore the fields that include an interface:

var base MyStruct
err := faker.FakeData(&base,
    options.WithIgnoreInterface(true),
)

I would expect the faking to work, and leave the B field empty, but the code will panic with

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

---

adding

options.WithFieldsToIgnore("B")

will solve that problem, but the panic is very confusing, and there is no hint of what is the problem

Hi @lev112 , which version are you using? I have a similar issue after upgrading to 4.1.1 which includes the changes of this PR #25. Up to 4.0.0 works fine without panic

[lev112]

@gegaryfa I'm using the latest (4.1.1)

@bxcodec is this intended behaviour?

Weird, I will try to debug. Sorry for the slow/late response, I was packed for the past weeks. Hope I can solve it before the end of the week

Hi @lev112 and @gegaryfa I fixed it in #36 Will release a new version soon, please help to check again with your use case, thanks. *feel free to re-open this issue if it's still happening
