Got com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException when I try to get the job info with a Invalid JobId

[wheniworking]

I use Jobs.listJob(jid).callSync(saltClient) to get the JobInfo . If the jid is invalid for example 123 , I will get a IllegalStateException .
com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected a string but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 107 path $.return[0].Target-type
However i run the command in shell
$ salt-run jobs.list_job 123

I will get the result like this:
Arguments:
Function:
unknown-function
Result:
----------
StartTime:
Target:
unknown-target
Target-type:
User:
root
jid:
123

What would be an appropriate return value in this case?

Maybe Jobs.listJob could return an Optional value? Or throwing a more informative exception?

looks like the problem here is that

{
    "Function": "unknown-function",
    "jid": 1,
    "Result": {},
    "Target": "unknown-target",
    "StartTime": "",
    "Target-type": [],
    "Arguments": [],
    "User": "root"
}

Target-type is suddenly an array instead of a String. I see no reason for it being an array so i suspect a bug in salt.
