Issue with CAYW scannable-cite format export

[rlasse]

Hi,

I am experiencing an issue with pulling scannable-cite citations through CAYW. I have been using zotpick's scripts to open BBT to Scrivener both by using davepwsmith's app and by making my own automation service. (https://github.com/davepwsmith/zotpick-applescript/blob/master/zotpick-scannable-cite.applescript) The CAYW UI opens without any issues and I'm able to pick Zotero items. But in every case, BBT exports the following message instead of exporting the scannable-cite citation: "CAYW failed: TypeError: item.uri is undefined Scannable-cite@chrome://zotero-better-bibtex/content/better-bibtex.js:81160:15"

Every other format query seems to work just fine (pandoc, mmd, ...), so I'm guessing this is an issue with the scannable-cite format?

Below I attached a debug log. I would very much appreciate your help!

What I tried: -accessing the CAYW through terminal (same outcome) -reinstalling BBT and zotpick scripts (same outcome) -clearing Zotero cache (no effect)

Can you install 1904, do that again, and send a new log?

[rlasse]

Just updated to 1904, the issue is still present unfortunately. Here is the log. SUH5RA6U-euc.zip

I know it's still present, this just adds logging.

Is the reporting facility not working properly for you? If you click submit you ought to see the ID presented in red, that will give me the logs. The zip files work, but I have tools that pick up the log based on the id, and those make it easier to create test cases when needed. Not wholly relevant to your case, as I don't expect I will need to add a testcase for this, but if the reporting is broken I'd need to fix it.

Oh very sorry about that. I was able to submit it now, it was greyed out before. ID: DZHAPAVG-euc

Can you try 1906?

[rlasse]

Just did that. There is still an error but the error message changed: CAYW failed: Error: No formatted citation found for zu:0:QPJVRHFM scannable-cite@chrome://zotero-better-bibtex/content/better-bibtex.js:81168:17

I tried it with multiple different entries as well. I reshared a log: 6TXF2E5L-euc.

[retorquere]

build 1909 removes the dependency on the ODF-scan plugin being installed.

Great! The export seems to work now, this is the message: { | Berry, 1975 | | | zu:0:ITEMKEY } But it seems that the item key is not being exported properly?

Log ID: GZ6FNBVE-euc

[retorquere]

you are running BBT in test mode. Set translators.better-bibtex.testing to false (which is the default, not sure how it got turned on for you) and you will get the key.

[rlasse]

Oh I see. not sure how this happened. I am getting the key now, but there is still an undefined part: { | Berry, 1975 | | | zu:6371466:undefined }

Not sure if this will affect the citation?

Log ID:N7CFKKL9-euc

[rlasse]

Actually, the item key that is exported is the same for every item... And I just checked, although ODF scan recognizes the citations, Zotero is not able to change the format of the citation because "it is no longer in the Zotero Database."

[retorquere]

I need to find out why you're getting an undefined.

1913 seems to have solved it. Thank you!!! Interestingly though, options such as adding page numbers are not getting exported, while this is not the case for pandoc?

1915 should solve that

[rlasse]

yes, everything works well now! Again, thank you so much!!
