Go-ipfs: Error in `config show`: case mismatch in config

[eminence]

Version information:

go-ipfs version: 0.8.0-rc1-02d15ac41
Repo version: 11
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.15.2

Description:

After upgrading/migrating from 0.7.0-ea77213e3 to 0.8.0-rc1-02d15ac41 I get this error when running "config show":

$ ipfs config show
Error: case mismatch in config, expected "Pinning" but got ""

My config file doesn't have any "Pinning" fields (since I'm using the same config from when I was running 0.7.0. I didn't manually add any fields, and it appears that IPFS didn't automatically migrate the config)

Workaround for v0.8.0-rc1

@eminence thanks for reporting this!

Until we fix this in RC2, you can fix on your own by adding and removing a dummy service:

$ ipfs pin remote service add noop http:///example.com foo
$ ipfs pin remote service rm noop
$ ipfs config show

Apologies for inconvenience! :bow:

Details

Seems that we did not caught this because ipfs init produces:

"Pinning": {                                                                                                                                                                                                    
  "RemoteServices": null                                                                                                                                                                                        
}   

If I manually remove that from config, I get the same error

Error: case mismatch in config, expected "Pinning" but got ""

@petar I believe you are going to refactor how we sanitize ipfs config show in https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/7798, and that should fix this bug as well?

No apologies needed, this is why RC releases exist 😄
