Red-discordbot: "MongoDB" is not a correct storage driver

What were you trying to do?

Just update the bot.

What were you expecting to happen?

Nothing.

What actually happened?

MongoDBV2 popped up, replaced MongoDB. But there is no handler for MongoDB, not even raising exceptions.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/RedBot/bin/redbot", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('Red-DiscordBot==3.0.2', 
  File "/opt/RedBot/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
    red = Red(cli_flags=cli_flags, description=description, 
  File "/opt/RedBot/lib/python3.7/site-packages/redbot/core/
    self.db = Config.get_core_conf(force_registration=True)
  File "/opt/RedBot/lib/python3.7/site-packages/redbot/core/
    driver_name, "Core", "0", data_path_override=core_path, 
  File "/opt/RedBot/lib/python3.7/site-packages/redbot/core/
    raise RuntimeError("Invalid driver type: '{}'".format(type))
RuntimeError: Invalid driver type: 'MongoDB'

How can we reproduce this issue?

Just update a bot version prior the MongoDBV2 changes to latest dev and you will see.

Accepted Deprecation

Actually this is fixed by #2603 where a more descriptive error message is printed.

This isn't actually a bug, due to the latest Mongo rewrite we had to differentiate between the "old" mongo and the "new" mongo drivers. #2579 will provide conversion capabilities back between the old mongo and JSON. Instructions on how to update to 3.1 if you are a Mongo user will be provided in the docs but do not exist yet.
