Migrating a myBB forum to Discourse using Kubuntu in a VM

If I understand well, the method was deprecated then removed from current versions of Ruby:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/bf97415c02b11a8949f715431aca9eeb6311add2

The import script should be updated to reflect this change.

Maybe try replacing exists with exist without “s” here:

script/import_scripts/mybb.rb

main


      
                  admin: user["group"] == "Administrators",
                  avatar_url: avatar_url,
                  post_create_action:
                    proc do |newuser|
                      if user["avatar"].present?
                        avatar = user["avatar"].gsub(/\?.*/, "")
                        if avatar.match(/^http.*/)
                          UserAvatar.import_url_for_user(avatar, newuser)
                        else
                          filename = File.join(UPLOADS_DIR, avatar)
                          @uploader.create_avatar(newuser, filename) if File.exist?(filename)
                        end
                      end
                    end,
                }
              end
            end
          end
          
          def import_categories
            results =
