I think I found the problem. In all the install directions and migration directions I read online (many) none of them mentioned setting the ENV["IMPORT"] variable
However, now that I am moving pass "complete ruby-noobie" stage, I looked at the Gemfile in discourse; and here is the issue why the bbcode to markdown plugin was not done:
Quote:
A Gemfile is a file we create which is used for describing gem dependencies for Ruby programs. A gem is a collection of Ruby code that we can extract into a “collection”¯ which we can call later.
So, I checked:
Nothing.
So now I know..... LOL... next build:
So simple when you know the problem.
Hmmm
I'm convinced now. The posts and cautions on the net about Discourse is true. Yes, it is free and open source; and yes it is built on the model of selling services (consulting, hosting, custom programming) around the Discourse ecosystem.
Again, as in an earlier post, I'm not saying this is "good" or "bad"; but I'm staying "it is what it is"..... because, for example, this one small detail export IMPORT=1 was missing from every example, README and tutorial on the net. I'm sure those Discourse paid installers know about export IMPORT=1 ....
But then when we know the issue and when I search for "IMPORT=1 discourse" on the net, now that I know the problem and how to fit it, sure enough, there is it in a post out there:
Another tip that might be useful for anyone else coming into this thread:
Using that command given above with IMPORT=1 will trigger this part of your Gemfile:
if ENV["IMPORT"] == "1"
gem 'mysql2'
gem 'redcarpet'
gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.3.13'
gem 'ruby-bbcode-to-md', github: 'nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md'
gem 'reverse_markdown'
gem 'tiny_tds'
end
I ran into problems with the installation of tiny_tds, and then with another thing it depends on called FreeTDS. After some wasted time on this I realized these are useful only for MS SQL imports, which I won't be using, so I simply commented out the tiny_tds line in my Gemfile.
(it would be nice to have a comment in front of each of those packages saying what they are used for, if anyone knows)
Now we know..... LOL
I agree with the poster above. It would be nice if this small detail was made available to use at the beginning of the migration process; but hey, never mind... it's very nice free software and I figured it out on my own.
So, the next time I build this discourse app, it's export IMPORT=1 before building
