I have the same issue on Obsidian for linux

OS: Linux Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS Obsidian version 0.14.6 Plug-in version 0.4.4

I checked the path to my library to make sure it is accurate, but the plug-in can't find it. It works just fine for me on the Mac versions.

I am getting this same issue! Trying to link Citations plugin to a .json in my Obsidian directory. Was there a resolution found?

OS: macOS Monterey 12.5 Obsidian version 1.0.0 Plug-in version 0.4.5

Was this issue resolved? I seem to be having a similar problem but I haven't searched for how to get a more detailed log.

OS: macOS Monterey 12.6 Obsidian Version 1.0.0 (Installer 0.15.9)

Path to library export file is valid but it seems that the plugin is unable to locate it. I am providing an absolute path but when I flip the database format back and forth, I get an error "Please check the path above."

The file is relatively large

$ wc zotero_lib.bib
21336  119573  982282 zotero_lib.bib

BibLaTeX format. Example entry:

@article{abdiPrincipalComponentAnalysis2010,
  title = {Principal Component Analysis},
  author = {Abdi, Hervé and Williams, Lynne J},
  date = {2010},
  journaltitle = {Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Statistics},
  volume = {2},
  number = {4},
  pages = {433--459},
  publisher = {{Wiley Online Library}}
}

But there are also, seemingly "bad" entires such as

@book{2003,
  date = {2003-01},
  publisher = {{Springer Berlin Heidelberg}},
  location = {{Berlin, Heidelberg}}
}

I was getting the same error, changed to the .bib and that file did load properly.
