[kumrzz]

Brief Description: API calls in testnet returning blank dataset(s)

Operating System (OS and version): Windows 10
OpenBazaar version: SERVER_VERSION = "0.2.3",PROTOCOL_VERSION = 2
Hardware: Surface Pro 3 @ virtualenv

Reproducible (Always):
Steps to reproduce:

1. update username and password as in below API call, into ob.cfg
2. python openbazaard.py start -ta 0.0.0.0
3. curl --data "username=ktest&password=password123" --dump-header headers.txt http://localhost:18469/api/v1/login
4. curl --cookie headers.txt http://localhost:18469/api/v1/profile

Observed Behavior:
API response: {}

Expected Behavior:
API response(similar to prod): { "profile": { "social_accounts": {}, "moderation_fee": 0.0, "moderator": false, "nsfw": false, "vendor": false, "guid": "5b0de6ec7df9a1ddd44d675f0a2bd8ee0b96497e", "background_color": 11711154, "secondary_color": 15132390, "location": "UNITED_KINGDOM", "short_description": "", "primary_color": 16777215, "email": "", "website": "", "handle": "", "text_color": 0, "last_modified": 1475576391, "public_key": "b44675355c4de653f8b69df289f645ff1af0911d3e0ff679875eb72d46154781", "about": "", "name": "kumR", "header_hash": "44f2e2b03e17326e0617bde347849952ff0725c9", "pgp_key": "", "avatar_hash": "5417644628cbb62e872a910e6e5af32fdb08145e" } }

Are you sending a GUID to the call or no? I'm assuming from your text that's a no so that means you must be getting into this path:

else:
            p = Profile(self.db).get()
            if not p.HasField("guid_key"):
                request.write(json.dumps({}))
                request.finish()
            else:
                temp_handle = self.db.profile.get_temp_handle()
                parse_profile(p, None if temp_handle == "" else temp_handle)

First step would be to check in your OB-Mainnet.db to see if you have a guid key in the keys table. If you do then maybe there's something wrong retrieving your Profile from the db.

soz for the late reply ...
No, not sending the GUID: to reiterate, my API call was:
http://localhost:18469/api/v1/profile
I specified 'testnet' in the issue subject and also implied as such in my OB kickoff command:
python openbazaard.py start -ta 0.0.0.0
so am I really looking at OB-Mainnet.db or OB-Testnet.db ?
I checked both, and yes both contain guid and bitcoin (privkey and pubkey) in table: keys.
'something wrong retrieving your Profile from the db': any further clues please?
So you don't think OB is simply confused by the existence of two (mainnet and testnet) dbs ?

Reckon I should just get rid of all traces of OB and reinstall? If so, which windows folders would you recommend looking at especially to make sure none of the old install remnants have persisted?
