Working with import "google.golang.org/api/admin/directory/v1"

[John More]

I am using the "google.golang.org/api/admin/directory/v1" to access a G Suite account and everything seems to work EXCEPT:

The import defines a User structure that includes the following element among many others

Suspended bool `json:"suspended,omitempty"`

When set to false the json.Marshal treats this as an empty field which will not allow me to reactivate a user. 

Calling the API directly without using the library is not an option as I am using a service account which means I have to use a JWT and I really have no idea how to get the Bearer token.

Copying the user struct from the library generates a lot of compiler dependency errors

If anyone has run into this before.. workarounds or clues are appreciated

Thanks

Hi John

If you look at the source code, you will notice that the User struct they have makes use of a custom MarshallJSON method, which accepts ForceSendFields (as defined inside the User type)

So what you might need to do, is add that "Suspended" into that slice and it will marshall it to JSON

See: https://play.golang.org/p/TY-hFUlYewL

Silviu,

Thank You.

It was my birthday yesterday and I spent all day trying to follow the source code trail and you provided a great birthday present.

It worked as you advised and I am sure I will have many more occasions to use this.

One side effect of my day going through the library source code was increased go knowledge.

Thanks Again

John
