Description

In our OpenAPI spec, we have a model with a nullable field called "prev_page_url".
If we test the generated code (with generator v6.0.0) omitting the parameter, it works correctly.

If instead we test setting the field explicitly to null we obtain the following error:

Expected the field `prev_page_url` to be a primitive type in the JSON string but got `null`

openapi-generator version

v6.0.0

In this case, Gson doesn't set the param to null, but to an instance of JsonNull class.
To check it should be able to change the pojo.mustache template in this way:

if (({{^isRequired}}jsonObj.get("{{{baseName}}}") != null && {{^isRequired}}jsonObj.get("{{{baseName}}}").isJsonNull()) && {{/isRequired}}!jsonObj.get("{{{baseName}}}").isJsonPrimitive()) {

If you want, I can try to prepare a PR for this issue.
