Multiple errors in WSL2 Manjaro - Probably path or package related

[acorreya]

I was trying to make zotcite run in vim and neovim inside a manjaro WSL2 install. This generally does not let any function to work execpt hiding zotero key on cursor.

I can't replicate the issue because I don't have a system similar to yours, but I could find a logical error near line 301. Could you update the plugin and try again, please?
