Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 872814

(Cloud Services :: Server: Account Portal, defect)

Description

[omar.ferrer.uprm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206152142

Steps to reproduce:

First make sure you are not logged in to Sync.

Go to:
https://account.services.mozilla.com/

Without inputting anything to any text field press "Login" button


Actual results:

Shows ambiguous general error message.  Specifically:

Oh dear.

Looks like one of the dinosaurs escaped again. We keep them away from the data, so that should be safe.

Please try again later when we've wrestled him back onto the treadmill.

If you want to report a sighting, please make sure to use their id tag: 659c3b64bcab5c26e72efe3dff8ea81e. Thanks!



Expected results:

There could be have been at least client-side checking for empty field on both text fields, along with a more specific response from the backend.

Thanks for the report.  I think this is another instance of Bug 872814. Unfortunately any fix will have to wait until after impending sync updates for FF29 which are our team's top priority at the moment.
