What does this PR do?
Fixes the issue where null values in trigger payloads create invalid JSON. The getValueByKey function now
properly handles gjson.Null types by returning the raw "null" string instead of an empty string.
Motivation
Fixes #3719 - When a trigger defines a payload with a source value that is null, the JSON passed as the
trigger payload becomes invalid (e.g., {"nullable_key": ,} instead of {"nullable_key": null}). This
breaks JSON parsing in downstream systems.
Describe how you validated your changes
• Added comprehensive unit tests for null value handling in TestGetValueByKey_NullValue
• Added integration test TestConstructPayload_NullValue to verify end-to-end null value preservation
• All existing tests continue to pass
• Verified that the generated JSON is valid and contains proper null values
Additional Notes
The fix specifically handles the gjson.Null type by returning res.Raw (which contains "null") instead of
res.String() (which returns empty string for null values). This ensures JSON validity while preserving
the semantic meaning of null values.
