Context
When trying to update nested documents, if the value was previously null, a NPE was raised. This was because the code inside
NitriteDocument::merge
wasn't null checking the value after taking it out of the map.Fix
Added a null check. If the value returned from
get
isnull
, I assumed we should follow the default behavior and just replace it with whatever was provided by the method. If not, we then usemerge
. While fixing this bug I noticed that there's no unit tests forNitriteDocument::merge
but they are covered indirectly via theCollectionUpdateTest
. I added a new test case to the existing suite.The code works but I'm up for comments - I'm not sure about the full implications of doing this fix so LMK if there's something I should fix or do differently :)
