bibo list fails

[rhaynes74]

Hi folks, new bibo user here. I exported my .bib file from zotero and ran bibo --database=file list and it scrolls through a ton of files and then fails with:

ZouDelayinducedtraveling2002 📁 Zou, Xingfu (2002). Delay Induced Traveling Wave Fronts in Reacti on Diffusion Equations of {{KPP}}-{{Fisher}} Type ZuluagaModelingoptimizationtheory2013 📁 🔗 Modeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications (2013)
bibtex failed. Using a fallback citation method. Use --verbose for more information

I tried the --verbose flag but it doesn't seem to work. Suggestions?

Hi @rhaynes74! Welcome to bibo and thanks for getting involved. It looks like bibtex failed to process the citations. Can you run the command with the --verbose flag again and check the top of the output? For example, try bibo --database=file list --verbose | head -n 50. The bibtex output to the standard error should appear at the top. Yes, it's a bit annoying that the error appears in one place and the debugging information at another. Let's solve your issue first and we can discuss improving the errors / warnings.

Hi - many thanks for the response.  I managed to clean up the zotero output and in this case bibo list now works.     Workflow suggestions?

Happy to hear it's working now. Can you please tell what bits of the .bib file caused the problem?

Regarding workflow, take a look at the quick start guide. To be honest, there's no much beyond that.

I'm closing this issue now. Feel free to reopen if needed.

Cheers, Tom
