\publishers{\url{}}  % if you comment out this line, it works fine

\begin{document}
    Hello world!
\end{document}

This give me the following errors:

! Argument of \HyPsd@@ReplaceFi has an extra }.
<inserted text> 
                \par 
l.65 \end{document}

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Runaway argument?

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

The interesting thing is if I comment out the line \publishers{\url{}} it will work fine. Years ago, this was no problem. Do you have any idea what could be the issue here?

What I tried:

1. uninstalled MiKTeX and TeXMaker
2. installed MiKTeX version 20.11, 7609, 64 bit
3. updated packagaes with MiKTeX
4. installed TeXMaker 5.0.4 64 bit

Best, Willi

An example that loads 30 unrelated packages and libraries isn't a minimal example. Next time remove them please.

Beside this it is a problem of the hyperxmp package which uses the \@publishers command from scrartcl and tries to write it to the metadata. Set the publisher for the metadata separatly:

\documentclass[]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{hyperxmp}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfpublisher=https://github.com/latex3/hyperref}
\publishers{\url{https://github.com/latex3/hyperref}}  % 
\begin{document}
    Hello world!
\end{document}

or use \texorpdfstring:

\publishers{\texorpdfstring{\url{https://github.com/latex3/hyperref}}{something safe}}  %

Thank you very much! It works fine :+1:

I include all this packages in my example because I thought that could be a package conflict.
