During a phpbb3 migration, for one of the posts, importer throws:
```
28291 / 1126938 ( 2.5%) [583509 items/min] /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/support/text_processor.rb:56:in `rescue in bbcode_to_md': undefined local variable or method `e' for # (NameError)
from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/support/text_processor.rb:54:in `bbcode_to_md'
```
FYI: i’ve been following an official docker-based migration guide.
* * *
Edit: I’ve been able to fix this by editing the `#bbcode_to_md` method to:
```
def bbcode_to_md(text)
begin
text.bbcode_to_md(false)
# Added `=>` below
rescue => e
puts "Problem converting \n#{text}\n using ruby-bbcode-to-md"
text
end
end
```
