Not generating code for the final fields and the getters

[iLoveDocs]

Minimum reproducible code:

@JsonSerializable()
class Foo {
  final int a = 0;
  int get b => 42;
}

Problem:

The generated code doesn't include any of the a or b field:

Foo _$FooFromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Foo();

Map<String, dynamic> _$FooToJson(Foo instance) => <String, dynamic>{};

Is this an expected behavior?

Here's the question on the StackOverflow

The behavior IS by design, but you should be able to work-around it with #1256

Although in this case, you just need to set fromJson: false – serialization defaults to trying to round-trip fields. Since this code will try to do toJson and fromJson and there is no fields, it just defaults to doing nothing.
