Illegal Argument Exception not handled for invalid fields

[likeabowx]

When entering an invalid value for certain fields (completion time and serving size) and clicking entering, nothing happens in the app itself. No error message is shown prompting the user about that error. In the terminal, I can see that a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException has been thrown. Without looking at the terminal, I will not know what happened. This applies for both adding and editing.

Completion time more than 525600:

Serving size more than 2000:

Team's Response

When reproduced, although no error feedback is given, the error does not cause the application to break and users can continue using the application.

According to CS2103T docs:

severity.High : A flaw that affects most users and causes major problems for users. i.e., only problems that make the product almost unusable for most users should have this label.

We don't believe that this error causes any major problems for users - hence we believe a more suitable severity level would be "Low":

severity.Low : A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low] Originally [severity.High]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: This situation is more than a rare situation as it is something stated in the user guide, yet it is not being handled properly in the sense that no error feedback is given to the user. After some thought, this issue should be more accurately severity.Medium as it can cause occasional inconvenience for the user even though they can indeed continue to use the product.
