On the basis of an RSS feed, I am required to create Group entities and Users out of the feed’s items.
Each item contains sufficient data:
<item> <id>123</id> <title>An example</title> <description>Some <strong>HTML</strong> description.</description> <author>John Doe</author> <email>john.doe@example.com</email> <pub_date>09/19/2017 - 08:30</pub_date> </item> I am using Core’s migration module along with migrate_plus and migrate_tools and wrote two migration yml files, one for creating Group entities out of the items and one to generate users out of the author & email fields.
Taken separately, both work fine, that is I am getting Group entities and User entities as expected. The only issue which I can’t get my head wrapped around is to set the respective User to be the Group’s owner.
Here’s the processing part of the Group yml file:
process: uid: plugin: migration_lookup migration: migrate_plus.migration.users no_stub: true source: email label: title field_description: description created: plugin: format_date from_format: 'm/d/Y - H:i' to_format: 'U' source: pub_date status: plugin: default_value default_value: 1 type: plugin: default_value default_value: my_group_type migration_dependencies: required: - migrate_plus.migration.users All fields except for uid are set correctly. If I change the user id process part to something static like
uid: plugin: default_value default_value: 1 it works as well and the Group’s owner is set to the Super User account. So, I reckon there’s something wrong with the migration_lookup processing part. I have read numerous tutorials on how to use that and it looks fine to me. I also read that migration_lookup fails silently if there is an error which makes it hard to debug.
Looking at the migration map table in the database it looks fine too:
mysql> select * from migrate_map_users limit 1; +-----------------+----------------------+---------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------+------+ | source_ids_hash | sourceid1 | destid1 | source_row_status | rollback_action | last_imported | hash | +-----------------+----------------------+---------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------+------+ | 009d...234ef457 | john.doe@example.com | 118 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | +-----------------+----------------------+---------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------+------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Due to the migration dependency through
migration_dependencies: required: - migrate_plus.migration.users the User migration should also run first, but it still doesn’t work. Even after both migrations have run through, I tried an update migration run, but the Group’s owner is never set (stays at being 0/Anonymous).
Is there soemthing wrong with my yml file? Are there other means to connect user and groups?
