Null pointer exception when ingredient list is empty in JSON file

[likeabowx]

When removing the list of ingredients in the JSON file, a null pointer exception is thrown when opening the app, instead of loading the app with an empty recipe book.

Team's Response

We stated in the UG under load recipes that users are advised to strictly follow the formatting of the application as failure to do so may result to certain aspects of the recipes to not load properly, if at all.

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: The UG states that certain aspects of the RECIPES to not load properly, if at all., which I understand as the recipes in the app will not load at all, meaning that the app may open up empty. However, in this case, the app crashes and does not even load with no data, which I believe is different from what the UG describes.
