Trouble creating category in import script

Dev
1

I’ve got an import script that was working. I changed databases that I was importing from.

Now when I try to create a category, it fails, complaining about last_post_user_id. The first line shows what I’m passing to create_category. It doesn’t look like that topic insert includes a username. Could that be it? Has something changed that broke this? I don’t see any recent changes to base.rb or category.rb. I’m rather stumped.

I got this problem too. I’ve been working with vbulletin import script. I have changes for importing users and attachments. All my changes were working; I’ve done complete runs. Then I did some refactoring relating to user import and now I have this problem.
I am using docker with the standalone configuration (postgres running on a separate server). Between runs and tests, I would drop the database with psql and use ‘rake db:migrate’.

Taking a hint from iamphi’s problem of no system user

it’s as though there was a change in code that allowed “signed” numeric types (both positive and negative) to code that defaults to unsigned numeric types (positive only)

I did a quick look at some changelogs and didn’t see anything confirming my suspicion, but I think it would be worth looking into a bit to see if it might have to do with the Ruby version upgrade.

I can’t remember how this got solved,but I did just add support for non linked images to vbulletin.rb.
