Description
Edited the .json file and changed 1 contact's phone number to match that of another contact
Steps to reproduce
Launch the application for the first time to load initial data.
Head into the data directory, and then into the addressbook.json file, edit any of the contact's phone number to mach that of another contact
Expected behaviour
Error message thrown and warns user that the file has been corrupted, duplicate has been detected in the .json file and to check or that data might have been wiped accidentally. There should be a warning to let the user backup / correct the data file.
Actual behaviour
Refer to the screenshot taken above, where application shows no error message but just a blank UI
Reason for severity
App originally supports editing of json file directly, if done correctly.
