hi guys,

i had the error like this:

> /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require': cannot load such file -- thor (LoadError)
> 
> from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require'

    from script/discourse:3:in `&lt;main&gt;'

any idea for this?
Thanks!

I just tried restoring from console and had experienced the same issue.

Is this still working @techapj can we verify?

Can you confirm you saw this exact text? What command did you run?

Also … I think the command is discourse not script/discourse

I can confirm that from inside a production container you want to run discourse restore, not script/discourse.

Also, you can run it without the filename and it’ll suggest the available files, which makes it easy to copy and paste the filename.

Unfortunately, all sessions closed, and backup restored from UI, can’t tell for sure now.

The only thing I remember is there was a ‘cannot load such file’ string.

I was definitely trying script/discourse, so that might be the issue.

I just ran the restore successfully on my sandbox using these commands:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
discourse enable_restore
discourse restore discourse-2018-01-08-044921-v20171228122834.tar.gz
