Unable to create new LN or update library

[aarontimo]

I’m just having a bit of trouble getting the plugin to work. I’ve installed the plugin and exported my Zotero library in the correct format but when I try to create a new literature note I get no results after typing the first letter of an author's name - no content appears when I type any letter. When I try to update library I see a completely empty and unchanging box. I have included images here.

Initially I had the json folder in my vault folder. I've also tried moving the json file into the literature notes folder (where there are existing notes) in my vault (and updating settings accordingly). Here is my json file: My Library.json.zip

This is the current file path I am using to the Bibtex file: /Users/u8008006/Documents/Obsidian/Zettelkasten/Literature Notes/My Library.json and the current export path is 'Literature Notes'.

Thank you for your help.

Following this post. Same issue, nothing coming up when executing the create command in Obsidian.

Here is the full path to .Json ---> G:\02_Recherches & Connaissances\CC_Obsidian_Vault\CCSecondBrain\FromZotero\TESTlibrary1.json

And here the export path (relative): \FromZotero

Hello, just installed the plugin and had the same issue to begin with. Noticed that it worked with the relative path from within the vault, so not the whole (including Users or CC-Obsidian_Vault). Hopefully this helps, I am by no means an expert. Christine

Hi Christine,

I tried but without succes :/ . Thank anyway! I'm curious, does bibnotes actually work for you with the up to date versions I have ?

@aarontimo you should add in the setting the relative path from the root of the vault. If your json file is located in the main folder of your vault, then just add the name of the file followed by the json extension. See for instance this issue https://github.com/stefanopagliari/bibnotes/issues/108

I have added this clarification in the next version of the plugin: 'For instance, add library.json if the file (library.json) is in the root folder. Instead, if the file is in a subfolder, specify first the subfolder followed by the name of the file (e.g. 'zotero/library.json' if the json file is located in a subfolder of your vault called 'zotero''

Thanks @stefanopagliari and @hyperorganised - that worked for me! Thank you again for your help and @stefanopagliari, thank you for the super useful plugin.
