The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Add command example does not work
Copying and pasting the 2nd example given in the Add section in the UG does not work on the app. (missing space between the email field and the address field)
[original: nus-cs2103-AY2021S2/pe-interim#2601] [original labels: severity.Low type.DocumentationBug]
Their Response to the 'Original' Bug
[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
The reason why it does not work is because there is a no space between the email and address parameters. I.e. the 'a/' prefix is stuck to the email address that came before. The example command in the UG does come with a space.
Testers have been notified to watch out for potential issues when copying and pasting from the UG where spaces might not be copied
Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
- [ ] I disagree

:question: Issue response
Team chose [response.Rejected]
- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: This may have been a formatting problem as a result of conversion to pdf, which may be beyond the scope of the module. Nevertheless, I believe that it is still a valid concern and should be recategorised as NotInScope.
Also, with regards to the response "Testers have been notified to watch out for potential issues when copying and pasting from the UG where spaces might not be copied", I did not see any mention of this in the User Guide and I do not think it is fair to expect that all testers will take note of this. It would be better to quote a reference for this particular statement to clear any uncertainties.
:question: Issue severity
Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]
- [ ] I disagree

Command used:
From User Guide:
Result:
If copy and pasted, the
a/prefix gets fused with the input fore/prefix, resulting in an invalid command format error. I believe that most new users would copy and paste the commands from the user guide to try out the product, thus the medium severity rating.
