Some searches crash the Discover app

From an email report:

I see that some searches are causing a console error. It looks like some values are null, which is causing the error. For instance, in the hit below, epoch_date_modified: null is causing this error.

To reproduce:

1. Search for "Harris"
2. Notice that the console error causes the results page to break.

I attached a screenshot where I set a breakpoint.

Here's an example of the result hit mentioned above:

Closing this issue since the fix was merged into Staging

[kepae]

I do not think this issue is resolved by the above change. Please also see:

• https://github.com/responsible-ai-collaborative/aiid/issues/3040#issuecomment-2310277035

[pdcp1]

@kepae I just tested on Staging all the reported cases and they work as expected. They all appeared to be connected to the fields that were missing. Fixed on https://github.com/responsible-ai-collaborative/aiid/pull/3037

• searching by "Harris"
• sorting by "Newest Published Date"
• sorting by "Newest Submitted Date"

• filtering by Date and choosing the last 2 months (e.g. July 2024 - August 2024)

  The fix has not yet been released to production.

@cesarvarela maybe we should add some tests that verify the filters work. What do you think?

[kepae]

Ah, I think you're right @pdcp1 -- sorry, didn't realize this wasn't deployed in production yet. :-)
