'instrumentation.influx_tables' expected type 'string', got unconvertible type '[]interface {}',

Context

I think the recent celestia-core bump introduced a regression. Ref: 23d13d4

The commit before this works fine.

[rootulp]

Resolved by modifying my ~/.celestia-app/config/config.toml to have long strings instead of slices for these two parameters:

influx_tables = "mempool_tx,mempool_peer_state,consensus_round_state,consensus_block_parts,consensus_block"

pyroscope_profile_types = "cpu,alloc_objects,inuse_objects,goroutines,mutex_count,mutex_duration,block_count,block_duration"

This was expected behavior given celestiaorg/celestia-core#1143 is a breaking change. How can we convey to users that their config needs to be updated if they bump to celestia-app main (or eventually v2.0.0)? @evan-forbes

[rootulp]

Closing this as won't fix. For posterity if you hit this, you can wipe your config:

rm -rf ~/.celestia-app

and celestia-appd will re-generate it. If you have some local modifications that you want to keep, you can modify lines in ~/.celestia-app/config/config.toml.

[evan-forbes]

perhaps we can include a migration script to just change the existing lines and include that in the release. we definitely need to inform as broadly as possible
