ipfs.dag.get fails with a map error only in IPFS Companion

[dysbulic]

Bug Description

I am using the git-remote-ipld to load git commits into IPFS. I am trying to download a zip of the repo's contents as is done in IGiS.

Running git push ipld:: master gives me ipld://QmWVVMpoyF9dRNimVnGpbioTkkgVkJGNf4FB1sH5nEGsKb, but when I pass that to ipfs.dag.get, I get an error to the console: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined.

When I use the ipfs dag get command in the terminal it returns data.

More importantly, I am able to open the cid in IGiS which uses dag.get, but doesn't use the ipfs-companion.

To Reproduce

1. Go to https://codepen.io/dysbulic/pen/jOPJKEE
2. View the console log to see the error.

Desktop

• OS: Ubuntu v18.04
• Browser: Chrome v80
• Version: IPFS Companion v0.4.23

Thank you for reporting this @dysbulic

I suspect this is the same problem as described in #852 (comment): the bug you experience is probably caused by ipfs-companion/window.ipfs exposing older API than latest js-ipfs and js-ipfs-http-client. Need to look closer to confirm tho.

I will be working on the fix (disabling old one, switching to the new API, #843) as soon as I finish #853

Until that happens, avoid using window.ipfs if possible. Apologies for inconvenience.

We've disabled window.ipfs in #777
