Validity of zimit flags are not checked at recipe creation

[kelson42]

I can put a Description which is (for example) longer than 80 characters. This makes the scrape process to die.

UI inputs setting up ZIM metadata should be checked, ideally at user input time, to secure they match our requirements.

This is most probably a regression on Zimfarm, the farm should not accept a task with such a description. I'm checking this.
Checking field length at user input time has not been implemented so far, the UI has no information about expected maximum length, API is not providing this information.
I would suggest to split this second part of the issue, since this would probably be implemented in a second effort (while first part is very important AFAIK)

[benoit74]

Second part is already tracked here indeed: openzim/zimfarm#835

[benoit74]

Second part tracked here now: #41

[benoit74]

First part of this issue has been fixed and deployed upstream

But it looks like it is not really nicely handled in zimit UI, I'm looking into it:

[benoit74]

This is indeed intentional in zimit-frontend code ; I will close this issue (we cannot set description too long anymore) and open another one to discuss 500 error specifically.

[benoit74]

Upstream deployment reverted due to #43

[benoit74]

Fixed again by deployment of openzim/zimfarm#868
