JSON Format Being Corrupted

[nus-pe-bot]

Steps to reproduce:

• If the user tries to edit the field name "tags" for the JSON File, this data should be deemed as corrupted since it should follow the AB3 storage such that each field name will be validated.
• However, currently, if user were to edit the "tags" into something else, the system will still deemed the data as not corrupted and run as per normal, which should not be the case.

Actual Output: Step 1: The user went to JSON file and change the field name of "tags" to something else and save it.

Step 2: The user went to run the system as per normal on the terminal.

Expected Output: It should be invalidated and displayed an empty list instead.

One example on how it should be validated. Step 1: The user went to JSON file and change the field name of "name" to something else and save it.

Step 2: The user went to run the system as per normal on the terminal. As you can see here, the data is invalidated and the displayed list is empty

Suggestion: Add validation to check for the field name "tags" to be validated.

Team's Response

Thanks for bringing up the issue. As per the user guide, editting data file will cause unexpected behaviour and this is expected. So, to further validate such error, it could be a future enhancement. And user would rarely edit it unless they are advanced user as specified by the user guide.
