Error: Error: getTranslatorId: "csljson" is not a GUID #38

Hi there,

I don't even know if this project is still active so let me know if you want me to make a pull request for this.

Currently the default translator for a ".json" file is specified as csljson. This probably didn't work for a while, since it isn't in the list of translators used by better bibtex: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/blob/609aa6fb0a392257bf2f8438902d46e27b6ad4e5/content/translators.ts#L109 (it probably "still worked" since the default must've been json)

However a commit from lastweek started making errors about this: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/commit/795b243619bf16aeb1e5f9bf768cc221d83cc2eb .

A workaround for the issue is just to use "filename.lksajfd", but I don't really know why this works.

Have a nice day !

Oh, actually, the filename.lksajfd should be filename.bib . Otherwise you have to set a default option for a translator. This way it works out of the box.

I just came across this problem. For me writing json files has been working until today and now I got the following error messaging when running `bbt_update_bib("path_to_markdown.Rmd", path_bib = "path_to_bib.json"):

Error: Error: getTranslatorId: "csljson" is not a GUID

Indeed, writing to .bib files still works.

@GuillaumeFromage thanks for opening this issue, it pointed me to the right direction!

I fixed the issue in a local clone of the package so I could also make a pull request if necessary :)

I think you should make the PR. I was looking at the issues and there weren't much activity, but the last pull request accepted is 3 weeks ago, so I guess the project is still well alive.

Still alive as long as there are users! (I don't currently write any academic content so I'm not one of them at the moment).
