New Better BibteX Version breaks Zotero Obsidian Import #329

Closed cstelmach closed 8 months ago

cstelmach commented 8 months ago

Hi.

Problem:

The new Better BibTeX for Zotero addon updates v6.7.141, v6.7.142 and v6.7.143 are currently breaking the Import into Obsidian, giving the error notification Unexpected end of JSON input.

I my case the Zotero addons update automatically. So some might encounter the same error.

Recreation:

A quick check is to try to use Data Explorer to open any publication, leading to an error notification Unexpected end of JSON input and following console error messages:

plugin:obsidian-zotero-desktop-connector:98 SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at nr (plugin:obsidian-zotero-desktop-connector:98:8531)
    at async Yx (plugin:obsidian-zotero-desktop-connector:112:4851)
nr @ plugin:obsidian-zotero-desktop-connector:98
plugin:obsidian-zotero-desktop-connector:112 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'length')
    at Yx (plugin:obsidian-zotero-desktop-connector:112:4934)

Workaround:

What currently works for me is to remove the Zotero Addon Better BibTeX for Zotero and download a compatible version v6.7.140. Then turn off the automatic update for this addon (until the problem is fixed).

Todo:

Please fix this issue for the new versions or modify the error message with the current solution. Thanks.

Hi unfortunately I am still getting the same error message even after updating. To make sure I uninstalled BBT from Zotero and reinstalled with the latest version, but I still get the same message when trying to import from Zotero in obsidian. Thank you!

Worked for me too, very many thanks.

I resolved this. For anyone still having issues make sure that you also update the Zotero Integration plugin in Obsidian to the latest version. Everything works well now.

Looks like this problem is back with the last versions of better bibtex and Obsidian Zotero integration plugin...

Edit : sorry, maybe not the same problem :

message from Zotero : Better BibTex: CAYW Failed. id is undefined

Message from Obsidian : Error Retrieving Cite Key : Request Failed. Status 500
