Annotation can't be fetched, although I still can select the citation on Zotero dialog box #267

I have some issues here, please tell me. After I extracted note by my own import format and the Zotero's dialog box was opened, I select the citation (journals or books) from it and start to extract annotations. But, there is no any note are created automatically. However, I try to test it by use a blank template (a note with no words there) for the import format and still it couldn't work.

+1 same issue, have noticed it for several weeks. Previously, it was working for many months. Can select item from Zotero selector but then nothing actually imports and no errors are reported. The Zotero Data Explorer reports "No data retrieved", suggesting error is on Zotero's end.

MacOS 13.5 (22G74) Zotero 6.0.26 Obsidian 1.3.7 Zotero Integration 3.0.7

Have you tried downgrading BetterBibTex to v6.7.96? https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration/issues/261

jakepog commented 1 year ago

Thanks. Updating to BetterBibTex 6.7.109 fixes this issue (for me).

+1. Same issue. Can see the zotero selector and select the item. But nothing is imported. Tried dowgrading to BetterBibTex 6.7.109. Still facing the same issue. In fact, when I open the bib file, I can see the annotations there. Any leads on this?

tophee commented 1 year ago

I am on 6.7.120 and my annotations are also behaving in weird ways. In some articles, the are imported correctly, but not in others. I checked the data explorer and found that in those articles where no annotations are imported, the data explorer doesn't show any annotations either.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Does this even have anything to do with BetterBibtex?

I have at least 20 or so annotations in Zotero but none of them shows up in the DataExporer. ..

Hi, have you solved the issue? I've been trying with all versions of BetterBibTex without any success.

ghost commented 1 year ago

Hi, I have encountered the same issue. Some references work fine to import the annotations but for some I am unable to import the annotations and the data explorer shows 0 annotations. This seems to be a similar problem to this issue: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration/issues/107 https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration/issues/102

I have found a work around which is to export the references in questions, delete them in Zotero, then import the references, and then import the annotations to Zotero. However, this is rather much work and also doesn't work every time.

avephill commented 11 months ago

Same here. I can not figure out the pattern between citations that work and citations that do not. But it seems like recently imported citations are less likely to work

FloraPost commented 11 months ago

I am having a similar issue.

Using the Zotero integration, I get the pop-up to prompt selection, and then.....

I get a new note with the citekey as the title, but nothing else appears.

Using the data explorer, there's nothing there - but in the explorer, if I hit the 'prompt for selection' button, I can go through the process and see all the metadata and my annotations in the explorer. But they don't get made into a note.

The template is not the issue - it is a direct copy of a template that works on a different computer/vault. Have tried various versions of bibtex, nothing.

This is my most used plug-in in obsidian (and the way I use Obsidian the most, by far)! hoping someone finds the solution.

FeralFlora commented 11 months ago

@mgmeyers Seems like there are many reports of imports hanging or not completing at the moment (also on Discord).

RolleRollsen commented 11 months ago

same problem here, downgrading to v6.7.109 fixed the issue for me (as stated by @jakepog ) and the annotations can be fetched without problems

Thanks. Updating to BetterBibTex 6.7.109 fixes this issue (for me).

Edit: after downgrading you need to close Zotero, delete better-bibtex folder and sqlite file inside the Zotero folder and open Zotero again. It should display "assigning citation keys" in the bottom right corner of Zotero. After this reinitialisation of better bibtex it worked fine for me.

tophee commented 11 months ago

This doesn't sound good. Does this mean ass existing bibtex keys will be replaced by new ones?

RolleRollsen commented 11 months ago

yes, but with the configuration redone they should be the same, but no guarantee for this. maybe it's enough to delete a certain file, maybe just the sqlite file. but I did not test that yet

tophee commented 11 months ago

OK, thanks for clarifying. This information can be crucial for people who have modified their bibtex keys or used different patterns over the years so that it is impossible to recreate these automatically. Given how central these keys often are to various workflows, losing them is the last thing you want, so heads up to anybody who needs their bibtex keys to remain unchanged.

Having the same issue here. Importing just creates a note with the BibTex key as the note name and nothing else. The issue only occurred when I updated to the new version of the plugin.

That's not exactly the same issue as first reported here, because @heryherher reported that no note was created at all. It's unclear what is occurring in each case reported here (no note created, or no annotations imported). For all we know, there could be problems with your template, or your import format configuration, or possibly something to do with Better Bibtex. All that is to say people should report more contextual information that might be relevant.

no problem with the template, as I'm using yours!

Oh, that's funny. Well, then that can't be it... enjoy!
