Can't import Nessus files in Metasploit

[alucian]

Hello guys,

I am trying to import Nessus files in Metasploit but I have no success. It's been few days now so I decided to ask for a little help.

I connected to the database and I tried to import the scan results, in both nbe and nessus format.

When I try to import in the nbe format it tells me that it successfully imported the file, but there are no hosts in the database (the time while uploading the file is only 2 sec, so it is not working).

When I try the nessus file (db_import_nessus_xml, because simply db_import doesn't works) I receive the following message:

msf > db_import_nessus_xml /root/scans/24sept.nessus
[-] The command 'db_import_nessus_xml' is deprecated; use 'db_import /root/scans
/24sept.nessus' instead.
[-] Error while running command db_import_nessus_xml: undefined method `text' for nil:NilClass

So... what should I do next??

[espreto]

Update metasploit...

# cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/; svn update; msfconsole

After,

msf> load nessus

And then:

msf> nessus_help

Be happy.

Thank you very much.

Unfortunatelly it is not working.
First of all, my metasploit is on another computer than my scanner. I just copied the scan results from my server and I want to import them in metasploit to see what vulnerabilities are exploitable. I don't want to exploit them (now), I just need a list woth the most vulnerable ones in order to help me prioritize the remediation process.

I tried to follow the tutorial from the metasploit course, but it is not working with the new version of metasploit

If you have another solution please help. I will try myself, too.

Regards.
