Hello community,
Discourse version : 2.9.0.beta9( 42c64abe15 )
After a merger of two successful Discourse communities, there are some duplicate users (especially those who did not put the same addresses)
But unfortunately, the user merge tool integrated in the UI does not work, it runs in a loop without stopping.
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
from user root discourse
rake users:merge['olduser','keepuser']
Do you manage to merge users in your instances via the UI? (I point out that they are not moderators or admins)
do you have an idea ?
Thanks for advance
Here are the traces.
root@discoursetest-app:~# rake users:merge['olduser','keepuser'] --trace
** Invoke users:merge (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute users:merge
rake aborted!

Hi,
I ran into the exact same issue today. Slightly older version (2.8.3) but same result on the UI and CLI. The old user is no admin, but the new one is.
Would be really great if anybody could shed some light on this.
Thanks
CLI Output:
rake --trace users:merge['old_user','new_user']
** Invoke users:merge (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute users:merge

I encountered a problem like this and was able to find the cause and solution. I thought I should add a note here in case my findings might help anyone else who suffers the same and finds this topic through their research.
I have shared it here:
I encountered a problem like this and thought I should share my findings here in case it might help anyone else who experiences it.
In my case, the account merge operation hung forever with the “Merge progress” dialog cycling back and forth between the “Changing post ownership…” and “Updating username…” messages.
From looking at the staff action logs (/admin/logs/staff_action_logs),
I could see that, although the ownership of many posts was transferred
immediately after I triggered the merge…
