External issue Discourse Importer Bug

[Timelord_]

Affected version

2.2.3

When importing from the latest version of Discourse, all seems to go well until approx step 16, then the following error is thrown. I tried messing with various combinations of different versions of PHP, but no success.

Any thoughts?

This would indicate the YAML PHP extension is not available (though I think we should warn before the import starts if this is the case).

Automated triage: Server issue

Thank you for reporting this issue. This error means the YAML PHP extension isn't loaded in the PHP version running the import. The Discourse importer needs it and checks for it when the import is set up, so if you switched PHP versions after starting, make sure the version you use now has YAML installed before you continue.

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
