Invalid GeoCoordinateValue fatal error
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If I give the api (e.g. CreateClaim) an invalid value for geocoordinate, it does not get validated. Instead it fails hard with a fatal error, which gets returned back to me, the bot / api user as a stack trace and obviously gets logged.

I am told that the same error is appearing in the production fatal logs, therefore if there is a reasonable way that we can patch it, we should and backport it asap.

A more overall approach to better value validation, as described in bug 49263, is needed soon as possible though would be too drastic of a change for backporting.

Depending on what I feed the api, am also able to get:

This is caused by a) overly restrictive type hinting in the DataValues extension and b) missing error handling in the Api modules. I see no way to address this with a live hack. Since this does not cause corruption on the only issue is a "dirty" error report, I suggest to leave this for the next deployment.
