…records

JSONObject.getString on a JSON null returns the literal "null" string, which
DateUtils.parseDate silently returns null for. The null Date then NPEs in
ExtUtil.writeDate, outside the per-record JSONException catch, aborting the
entire sync. Add JsonExtensions.requireDate to throw JSONException on a null
parse result, routing bad records through the existing corrupt-record handler
so the rest of the list still syncs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

JSONObject.requireDate now parses required date fields and throws JSONException for invalid values. ConnectJobRecord.fromJson uses this helper for project dates and claim dates. Tests verify that a null end_date causes corrupt-record handling and that valid records processed before the invalid record are stored.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1ac65

This change makes required opportunity dates fail fast instead of being accepted as null. A malformed remote record can cause a refresh to report failure after valid records have been saved and missing records pruned, temporarily changing the local opportunity set. The impact is localized and retries remain possible, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on making pruning conditional on a fully valid response.

claim end_date and date_claimed. Each test places a valid record before the
invalid one and verifies only the valid record is passed to storeJobs.

This all looks good to me, although it might be nice to include a short demo showing what it looks like when a job fails to be parsed.

To that point, I noticed ConnectJobRecord.corruptJobFromJson is no longer called from anywhere (not a new change in this PR). So it seems we aren't showing the job as a "corrupt" entry in the list anymore, which I assume means the job just won't show up at all and an error message saying "Error parsing data from server. Please contact customer support." will show.

Is the above correct? Are we intentionally not showing corrupt jobs in the list anymore, and if so should we go ahead and clean up the unused function?

although it might be nice to include a short demo showing what it looks like when a job fails to be parsed.

Holding back on demo given this has not changed as part of the PR but also think I can eliminate need of a demo with some information - User just get a generic error in network status bar now when this happens and load all good opportunities from the DB while either hiding the corrupt Opp or showing stale data (based on the status of local db when parsing error happened).

Is the above correct? Are we intentionally not showing corrupt jobs in the list anymore, and if so should we go ahead and clean up the unused function?

Right, we shifted to showing these errors in a generic fashion when we added network status bar, I will be happy to clean that up in this PR if you are good with that.

That all sounds good to me. It would be nice to get that old code cleaned up if we know we're not going to use it anymore, but not critical for this PR. I'll leave the decision up to you, PR is approved if you just want to merge.

One opportunity with a null date NPEs the whole jobs-list sync (ExtUtil.writeDate) — corrupt-record handling misses non-throwing parse failures
