[Bug]: cayw api error with `minimize` in Zotero 7

[raykr]

Debug log ID

not in zotero 7 client

What happened?

When I was develop a vscode plugin using CAYW api, and I want to use minimize variable to minimize zotero 7 window after a pick, there is an zotero error like this

CAYW failed: windows.getNext().QueryInterface is not a function
init@jar:file:///Users/jzl/Library/Application%20Support/Zotero/Profiles/gdjuekh7.default/extensions/better-bibtex@iris-advies.com.xpi!/content/better-bibtex.js:133535:43

It maybe a zotero 7's compatibility problem I think. Please to check it, thank you!

Getting your debug log is a breeze and will save us both time. Trust me, it's way quicker than discussing why it's important. :smiley:

How to Share Your Debug Log:

1. If the issue involves specific references or exports, just right-click on the relevant item(s) and choose "Better BibTeX -> Submit Better BibTeX debug log" from the menu.

2. For other issues, follow these simple steps:

   • Restart Zotero with debugging enabled (Help -> Debug Output Logging -> Restart with logging enabled).
   • Reproduce the problem.
   • Select "Send Better BibTeX debug report..." from the help menu.

Once you hit that submit button, you'll get a special red debug ID. Just share that with @retorquere in this issue thread. If the question is regarding an export, don't forget to include what you see exported and what you expected.

:robot: this is your friendly neighborhood build bot announcing test build 6.7.111.2621.4926 ("try through mainwindow")

Install in Zotero by downloading test build 6.7.111.2621.4926, opening the Zotero "Tools" menu, selecting "Add-ons", open the gear menu in the top right, and select "Install Add-on From File...".

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. What I meant was that I wasn't performing the operation in the Zotero client, so I couldn't get the log of the BBT plugin. I'm using the Cayw API in my VSCode plugin development, and there is a "minimize" field inside which can minimize the Zotero window after picking. However, when debugging with Postman, an error occurred.

Ah. You could have gotten a log after the fact in the client. But the build above will work ik think.

[raykr]

Okay, I follow the tips to produce a log, debug log id is M3JY8Y9L-apse/6.7.111-7.

I think build 4926 (linked above) will fix it. Can you try that build?
