Summary

When using the "Import From JSON" action, validation throws an uncaught error if an improperly formatted/non-JSON text file is selected.

Expected vs Current Behavior

Expected: An error notification should appear in the UI like in this image below.

Actual: No error notification appears.

Steps to Reproduce

1. From the action menu, click "Import From JSON"
2. In the Import From JSON pop-up dialog, select a non-JSON text file
3. A red X should now appear next to the select-file button.
4. Close the import dialog. There's no error notification.

Impact Check List

• Is there a workaround available?
• Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
