When attempting to merge posts into an existing topic, nothing happens when clicking “Move to Existing Topic”
An error is visible in the JS console:
```plaintext
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined at n.performMove
```

Can you try to update to latest? I think I fixed this.

Still not working after upgrade I’m afraid.

This is not latest, you don’t have:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/034502af2138aaf1e3a847ffcdc3f07ec83bbb6b](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/034502af2138aaf1e3a847ffcdc3f07ec83bbb6b)
Sorry I wasn’t on my computer, maybe our CI was blocked on some test for a moment, and took time to get this commit in tests-passed. It’s definitely in now and should fix your issue.

Will try a rebuild at the CLI

Tried a restart (not yet rebuild), didn’t help.
This is the error in `production.log`:
```plaintext
Started GET "/" for 82.44.224.199 at 2019-05-29 21:36:38 +0000
Processing by ListController#latest as HTML
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 690ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)
NoMethodError (undefined method `url' for nil:NilClass)
/var/www/discourse/plugins/poll/plugin.rb:441:in `block (3 levels) in activate!'
```
I notice the poll plugin has been recently changed. Any idea what might be wrong, @nbianca / @zogstrip ?

I’m currently trying a rebuild to see if this helps
**Update** this didn’t help. Forum still dead… ideas please anyone?! 😭
**Update** I entered the Docker container and did the following:
```plaintext
mv /var/www/discourse/plugins/poll /tmp
exit
./launcher restart app
```
This seems to have got the forum working, although polls are now not rendering properly.

In particular, here:
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of data corruption on my forum though…
