Field-images wont be migrated in a migrate-upgrade — Not sure if it's a bug

Question

I try to Migrate-upgrade a D 7.44 site to D 8.1.3 and all seem to be migrated besides API images (i.e images uploaded in image fields).

Images uploaded in CKeditor with IMCE, on the other hand, appear just fine.

I am not sure if that's a bug because AFAIK, tens if not hundreds of sites were upgraded without that a problem.

Details that might help you conclude if this is a bug:

1. The D7 site files folder permissions is 755.
2. The D8 site files folder permissions is 777.
3. The node__field_image table in the D8 DB is empty (i.e zero rows).
4. The files path I gave in the Migrate UI module is /var/www/html/benia.biz/sites/default/files as in the first image here.
5. The second image describes a warning I saw while migrating and it might be associated to the problem. This warning deals with duplicated image paths, though I have no clue why it would appear.

Answer 1

You've included a critical piece of information here which was not included in https://www.drupal.org/node/2759309:

You specified your file path as /var/www/html/benia.biz/sites/default/files.

Actually it should be /var/www/html/benia.biz/.

The sites/default/files portion is automatically included in the file paths by the migration process.

• In the correct path note you have an extra slash (one after the benia.biz so it's benia.biz/); Missing this slash as well could make the migration process miss the images.
