`list` command throws `panic: runtime error`

[yermulnik]

Any list command fails with the below:

> fgrep -w VERSION /etc/os-release

and

> fgrep -w VERSION /etc/os-release
VERSION="19.3 (Tricia)"

ps: the latter is a bit outdated though is for the sake of example

I also stumbled upon this. Looks like it's related to the following (global config variable used by the CLI):

https://github.com/devops-rob/target-cli/blob/7a10f70ca7b6f6da387f82a00136414b66ff0ba4/cmd/root.go#L84-L86

It hits this case:

https://github.com/devops-rob/target-cli/blob/7a10f70ca7b6f6da387f82a00136414b66ff0ba4/cmd/root.go#L210-L216

But doesn't set the global config variable (c), because it never hits this:

https://github.com/devops-rob/target-cli/blob/7a10f70ca7b6f6da387f82a00136414b66ff0ba4/cmd/root.go#L216-L226

For context (pun intended), my configuration file contains:

$ cat ~/.target/profiles.json 
{
        "vault": {},
        "consul": {},
        "nomad": {}
        "terraform": {}
}

💡 We need to remove the else it is wrapped in in order for things to then ultimately flow properly into that global variable.

The error is in https://github.com/devops-rob/target-cli/blob/main/pkg/targetdir/targetdir.go#L29 which generates a malformed profiles.json.

The document misses a comma at the end of the nomad line. Fixing the json made the command works.

Fixing the json made the command works.

Yay! I can confirm the fix. Thanks.
