I’m trying to import data from my ipb forum and running script ipboard3 gives me the following error: script/import_scripts/ipboard3.rb:375:in `clean_up': undefined method `encode!' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) root@forum:/var/www/discourse# `clean_up': undefined method `encode!' Why is it giving undefined method ‘encode!’ :confused:

If you do the queries that the script is doing, do they provide the data that you expect? Did you change your if raw.to_i.zero? to something like if raw.length == 0 "randome text".to_i.zero? will always be true.

[image] dr3adx: Why is it giving undefined method ‘encode Because it’s getting called with raw being nil. So you’ll need to figure out which function is calling it and why it’s not getting data for the raw data for the post. My guess is this line: bio_raw: clean_up(u["pp_about_me"]), If that’s the case, then maybe what to do is modify clean_up so that it’ll return nil if it gets no data.

I don’t think adding “return nil” would make much difference, what do you think? also all personal messages got imported but they’re empty too

[image] dr3adx: is this good? if raw.to_i.zero? return end No, that’ll trigger way too often. Try this: return if raw.nil?

[image] pfaffman: The database query is wrong for some reason. It’s not getting the data for the post content. That’s weird because I’m using IPB3 and I checked the column names and they match :open_mouth:
