Zulip - RocketChat - Data Converter

See original GitHub issue

Hello!

I installed Zulip from Git and tried to run the convert_rocketchat_data script.

Zulip Version: 5.0-dev-2500-g73710e1cf0 RocketChat Version: 4.0

Server Specifications: OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS CPU: 4 Memory: 16GB RAM SWAP: 4GB

The migration looks like following:

zulip@comm01:~$ ./deployments/current/manage.py convert_rocketchat_data /home/zulip/rocketchat --output /home/zulip/converted_rocketchat_data
Converting Data ...
Killed

The situation is that it seems that the converter fails at some point but I don’t know where. I also tried to run it with traceback but no additional infos were shown.

I haven’t read this format, but I think what’s going on is that Rocket.Chat’s Omnichannel/livechat channels use the fname field (“guest-6” here) rather than name for some reason to identify the channel. Can you check if the tool completes replacing that line with

stream_name = channel_dict.get("name", channel_dict["fname"])

It’s likely that a better choice for how to structure the import would be to put these all in a single Rocket.Chat omnichannel stream with fname as the topic or something like that, but this should let the job complete.

@garg3133 looks good. The migration runs now.

Just need to start importing.
