[bug] HashMap always empty when passed to #[tauri::command]

[bicarlsen]

Describe the bug

When passing a HashMap to a #[tauri::command] the contents is always empty. This seems to be the case regardless of the types associated with the HashMap. I have verified that the HashMap is correctly Serialized. I am using Yew as a front end.

Reproduction

MRE is located at https://github.com/bicarlsen/tauri-command-hashmap-mre.

Expected behavior

HashMap should arrive as was sent.

The problem is that serde_wasm_bindgen::to_value will convert the rust HashMap into a js Map object, then tauri's invoke will call JSON.stringify on it which will result in an empty object {}. I am not sure what is the best approach here tbh. I don't think we can do anything about it since the Map could be nested deep down in the object passed to invoke.

[bicarlsen]

I am currently solving it by manually stingify-ing the HashMap sending it across as a String, then manually un-stringify-ing it. At least in my simple use case it works.

[amrbashir]

alright, I think I found an acceptable solution using JSON.stringify second argument (replacer function) to convert the map > object

[bicarlsen]

It doesn't seem this fix has been included in Tauri yet. Is it expected to be included in a future release?

[FabianLars]

this was part of tauri 1.3 - which version are you using? And is the MRE above after updating the versions to let's say 1.5 still accurate?

Sorry, the issue was actually coming from an Option enum as described in Issue #5993.
