citr error about citr HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi Ajay, I need a little more context to understand what's going on here. Could you help me understand what's going on by describing what you did and what you behavior you expected?

Thank you for your reply. I'm using bookdown to write my PhD thesis. For reference management I'm using Zotero 5 + Better Bibtex. But I'm not able to use the 'citr' add on of Rstudio. Citr get crashed or left with the error as mentioned in my first post. Please ask me if you need more information. Citr is very useful add on but I'm not able to use it.

So you are trying to access your Zotero-Library. Until yesterday there had been no official release of the Better BibLaTeX-Plugin for Zotero 5. Are you using this latest release?

from citr.

Yes, I'm using the latest Better BibLaTex-Plugin for Zotero 5. You may find this attachment useful to help me out.

Interesting. Have you tried using the addin with an R Markdown or R script file open?

from citr.

I should probably add, it looks like the API of the plug in was changed and I need to make adjustments to the code in order for it to work. If the addin loads correctly this will cause the loading of the library to never finish.

Thank you so much friend. Just now I run a successful minimal bookdown example with citr. Let me check the same with my work too, fingers crossed.

In the context of my work, citr is still getting crashed.

It looks like we have solved your initial problem. I have also pushed a commit that should resolve the requirement to have a source editor pane open when insert_citation() is called.

What you are experiencing now is a different problem and related to RefManageR::ReadBib(). It's hard to make out from the video (it would be helpful if you could add the error message to your post) but it looks like the error message is telling you what's happening:

1. Something seems to be at odds with the ZehnerGreen... reference.
2. An author name includes a special character that the function cannot handle (Gallop{\'\i}n). I've seen similar behavior before. You may want to create an issue about this at the RefManageR repository. For a quick fix, try changing the format of that entry in your Zotero library.
3. Your library contains a technical report that is missing the institution information which is required.

It's probably not be necessary to address all of these to enable reading your Zotero library. I'd start with 2. and continue with 3. if necessary.

I'm closing this issue as this problem is unrelated to citr. Thanks for reaching out concerning your original issue.

Thank you friend for your time and solutions. I corrected the references. Now citr is doing unfinished loading, as you mentioned in your earlier comment. Please see the attached screen-shot.

This is due to a change in the Better BibLaTeX plugin that breaks backward compatibility. The problem has been addressed by the developer and you may install a test build to circumvent the issue until I can supply a fix (I'll open a new issue for that).

I'm new with many technical terms and processes here. Let me see what I can do. Thank you.
