ignoreNullMembers seems to break the deserialization

I have a problem with the ignoreNullMembers annotation. As far as I understand, you can use this annotation if you would like to ignore null members or not existing json members of the json that is about to be deserialized.

I have two models, with the only difference being this annotation:

@JsonSerializable()
@Json(caseStyle: CaseStyle.pascal)
class TestModel1 {
  String id = '';
  String? address = '';
}

@JsonSerializable()
@Json(ignoreNullMembers: true)
@Json(caseStyle: CaseStyle.pascal)
class TestModel2 {
  String id = '';
  String? address = '';
}

Now if I parse the exact same data where none if the properties are null, to each model, I would expect the same result. But this is not the case:

Every property in TestModel2 is empty strings (their default value).

I would like to use the ignoreNullMembers annotation, but of course also deserialization. So am I doing anything wrong?

Try to join the two @Json annotations to just one, having both attributes side by side. Intention is to have just one annotation for the class level settings

@Json(ignoreNullMembers: true, caseStyle: CaseStyle.pascal)

Aaah, rookie mistake, I did not know that you could join the annotations.

Thanks 👍
