Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. I changed the tagged: [ ] to tagged: [ null ] image.png

  2. App does not start up at all, and throws a RuntimeException image.png

Graded low as users are unlikely to edit the tag list to null.

Team's Response

Problems caused by extreme user behaviors: If the problems can only happen in case of deliberate sabotage (e.g., user entered a 30-digit telephone number), in which case it should not be considered a bug.

As mentioned in the bug triaging guidelines, we believe that this issue can only happen if the user deliberately tries to sabotage by entering null, which we do not think can happen by user mistake.
