Model#import method name clashes with activerecord-import library

[scarrick68]

The import method is shadowed by activerecord-import which results in this argument error:
ArgumentError: Invalid arguments! from /some_local_path/activerecord-import-1.2.0/lib/activerecord-import/import.rb:648:in import_helper'`

Ruby doesn't support method overloading so it doesn't recognize any other definition. I'm guessing only the most recent for that class / module. Just wanted to point this out for anyone who runs into the same issue since AR import gem is pretty popular, 47 MM downloads.

My hot fix was to remove AR import, bundle and run the import. This won't work for anyone who runs a periodic import job.

I'd be happy to alias the method and make a PR.

Hi
I have used elasticsearch proxy __elasticsearch__
and works perfect)

for example:
User.elasticsearch.import

if you need to import specific models you can use query parameter
User.elasticsearch.import query: -> { User.where(id: ids) }

Maybe it will help you

I did a similar proxy by creating an elastic_import method that I call when importing records;

      # Need to create another way to access elasticsearch import.
      # class.import is using by activerecord-import, I think
      def self.elastic_import
        __elasticsearch__.import
      end
