Hello, I’m getting the following error when running the import script for muut: Importing categories 2 / 2 (100.0%) [5170854 items/min] Importing discussions Traceback (most recent call last): 8: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:184:in ` ' 7: from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:47:in `perform' 6: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:25:in `execute' 5: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:82:in `import_discussions' 4: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:82:in `each' 3: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:84:in `block in import_discussions' 2: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:84:in `each' 1: from script/import_scripts/muut.rb:110:in `block (2 levels) in import_discussions' script/import_scripts/muut.rb:162:in `process_muut_post_body': undefined method `gsub!' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get passed this error?

Here is an update muut.rb that worked for me: # frozen_string_literal: true require "csv" require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/base.rb") # Edit the constants and initialize method for your import data. class ImportScripts::Muut < ImportScripts::Base JSON_FILE_PATH = "/path/to/json/file" CSV_FILE_PATH = "/path/to/csv/file" def initialize super @imported_users = load_csv @imported_json = load_json end def execute puts "", "Importing from Muut..." import_users import_categories import_discussions puts "", "Done" end def load_json JSON.parse(repair_json(File.read(JSON_FILE_PATH))) end def load_csv CSV.parse(File.read(CSV_FILE_PATH)) end def repair_json(arg) arg.gsub!(/^$/, "") # content of file is surround by ( ) arg.gsub!(/$$/, "") arg.gsub!(/\]\]$/, "]") # there can be an extra ] at the end arg.gsub!(/\}\{/, "},{") # missing commas sometimes! arg.gsub!("}]{", "},{") # surprise square brackets arg.gsub!("}[{", "},{") # :troll: arg end def import_users puts '', "Importing users" create_users(@imported_users) do |u| { id: u[0], email: u[1], created_at: Time.now } end end def import_categories puts "", "Importing categories" create_categories(@imported_json['categories']) do |category| { id: category['path'], # muut has no id for categories, so use the path name: category['title'], slug: category['path'] } end end def import_discussions puts "", "Importing discussions" topics = 0 posts = 0 @imported_json['categories'].each do |category| @imported_json['threads'][category['path']].each do |thread| next if thread["seed"]["key"] == "skip-this-topic" mapped = {} mapped[:id] = "#{thread["seed"]["key"]}-#{thread["seed"]["date"]}" if thread["seed"]["author"] && user_id_from_imported_user_id(thread["seed"]["author"]["path"]) != "" mapped[:user_id] = user_id_from_imported_user_id(thread["seed"]["author"]["path"]) || -1 else mapped[:user_id] = -1 end # update user display name if thread["seed"]["author"] && thread["seed"]["author"]["displayname"] != "" && mapped[:user_id] != -1 user = User.find_by(id: mapped[:user_id]) if user user.name = thread["seed"]["author"]["displayname"] user.save! end end mapped[:created_at] = Time.zone.at(thread["seed"]["date"]) mapped[:category] = category_id_from_imported_category_id(thread["seed"]["path"]) mapped[:title] = CGI.unescapeHTML(thread["seed"]["title"]) if thread["seed"]["body"] == "" thread["seed"]["body"] = " "; end mapped[:raw] = process_muut_post_body(thread["seed"]["body"]) mapped[:raw] = CGI.unescapeHTML(thread["seed"]["title"]) if mapped[:raw] == "" parent_post = create_post(mapped, mapped[:id]) unless parent_post.is_a?(Post) puts "Error creating topic #{mapped[:id]}.
