THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK

Step 1: Dump vb database again and all attachments.
Step 2: Transfer to discourse host.

Step 3:

Code:

discourse=# alter table posts add column vbpostid integer;
ALTER TABLE
discourse=#

Step 4: Moved transferred files to shared directory in docker (shared between docker and host)
Step 5: Rebuild staging mysql DB in docker / discourse.

Step 5: Run modified vbulletin_neo3.rb migration script.

Code:

export IMPORT=1
su discourse -c 'bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vbulletin_neo3.rb'

THIS METHOD DID NOT WORK

I think there are some unknown (to me) status counters for topics and posts, because I did not seem to reimport anything but the news topics / threads since the last import.

So, seems I have little choice if I want to refine (transfer likes, fix ICODE tags) is to start migration from scratch.

Let's see after this "does not seem to be working attempt" completes.

The problem seemed to be with postgres and the fact it is running outside the docker discourse app. But frankly, I don't have time or interest to analyze why this "brute force method" failed.

It's easy enough to start over with all lessons learned from the test migrations.

test::tempdir

Test::TempDir(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Test::TempDir(3pm)

NAME

       Test::TempDir - Temporary files support for testing.

SYNOPSIS

	       use Test::TempDir;

	       my $test_tempdir = temp_root();

	       my ( $fh, $file ) = tempfile();

	       my $directory_scratch_obj = scratch();

DESCRIPTION

       Test::TempDir provides temporary directory creation with testing in mind.

       The differences between using this and using File::Temp are:

       o   If "t/tmp" is available (writable, creatable, etc) it's preferred over $ENV{TMPDIR} etc. Otherwise a temporary directory will be used.

	   This is "temp_root"

       o   Lockfiles are used on "t/tmp", to prevent race conditions when running under a parallel test harness.

       o   The "temp_root" is cleaned at the end of a test run, but not if tests failed.

       o   "temp_root" is emptied at the begining of a test run unconditionally.

       o   The default policy is not to clean the individual "tempfiles" and "tempdirs" within "temp_root", in order to aid in debugging of failed
	   tests.

EXPORTS

       temp_root
	   The root of the temporary stuff.

       tempfile
       tempdir
	   Wrappers for the File::Temp functions of the same name.

	   The default options are changed to use "temp_root" for "DIR" and disable "CLEANUP", but these are overridable.

       scrach
	   Loads Directory::Scratch and instantiates a new one, with the same default options as "tempfile" and "tempdir".
