Hi,

I am getting the below error:

Any idea why this might be happening? Zotero is definitely running...

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think following the "Referencing" section of this blog post may help you get the Zotero picker installed 👍

Thanks for that. I followed the instructions, however this still doesn't work. When I try and the extension I am still getting the same error. Additionally, whey I try and run the services as set out in the link you provided, the error I get is com.automator.runner.xpc is not allowed to send keystrokes. This is happening in other apps as well, however in vscode I get the electron pop-up window too. I have a workflow that I have been using for a ages with Alfred.app where I run and .applescript and paste in the better-bibtex key from Zotero, which worked similarly to your extension. I think the conflict between .applescript and vscode is a known issue (see here). See below for the pop-up messages I am getting.

Here you can see the error message with both vscode and Zotero open when I try and run the extension.

Any ideas what I can do to resolve this issues?

I think I've discovered the issue: Note that as of Zotero 5.0.71, access to this URL will no longer work from the browser for security reasons; curl and other programmatic access will work if you make sure you send a User-Agent header (curl does so by default).

I'm going to work on a fix now 👍

Awesome, thanks! I look forward to the fix!

The issue has been fixed by using the latest Zotero beta: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev_builds 🎉

Great, that works now, thanks! However, after inserting the citation the focus changes to Zotero. Is that the expected behaviour? It would be great if the focus could return back to vscode.
