Error while exporting collection to Zotero-RDF

[Prometheos2]

Hello,

I've got errors trying to export some of my collections to Zotero RDF files while BBT is enabled.

Debug log ID:

• YJMUWV36-euc
• 6VTRNZ3N-euc (second collection)
• G52R6DHP-euc (with cache disabled)

It seems that it only concerns elements with the connector's timestamps (2013-07-11T07:00:00.000Z), as one of my collections without one is exported without error.

There are some errors given in the debug logs, which seem to imply it's from Zotero or one of the files (?):

[JavaScript Error: "Component returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsIFile.initWithPath]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/file.js" line: 47}]

Thank you for your attention

[Prometheos2]

and I just noticed #2315, let me try that.

Edit: Nope, it wasn't the cache

G52R6DHP-euc

[retorquere]

And this is reliably tied to whether BBT is active? I don't interfere in any way with RDF exports, so I have no idea how to begin to address this.

it only concerns elements with the connector's timestamps

I don't know what this means.

[Prometheos2]

Yes, it errors out when BBT is active, and works properly when it's not.
I was able to find the faulty elements for the first collection: TJNGAX34-euc (5JTKWIF4-euc includes three of them).

It seems it might be due to titles and author names with special characters and the "timestamps"

I don't know what this means.

Oops, sorry about that.

It's the time of the last update/publication, appending to the date. Like this: 2013-07-11T07:00:00.000Z

[retorquere]

Can you select one or more of the items that exhibit this behavior, right-click, and send a debug log from the BBT submenu? The ID will have -refs- in it.

[Prometheos2]

Here F8D5896L-refs-euc

[retorquere]

I cannot reproduce the problem using F8D5896L-refs-euc, can you try disabling all 3rd party plugins except BBT, restart Zotero, and try again?

[retorquere]

I have tried on Windows and on MacOS, both export these 3 items without issue to Zotero RDF.

[Prometheos2]

I've disabled everything else, and there is still an error: 7JKPK8PV-refs-euc

[retorquere]

Can you drop this Zotero RDF.js into your translators dir, restart Zotero, reproduce the problem, and send a new log?

[Prometheos2]

Sadly, I will be stuck on Ubuntu until tomorrow; I will try on Windows tomorrow, hopefully in the morning.

I was able to reproduce the problem, and I tried this translator, but it didn't work: WD5FKTAR-refs-euc

[retorquere]

It wasn't expected to work, just give me more debug info. Can you try the new version I just published at the previous URL? I don't see any extra logging.

[Prometheos2]

Weird; I probably didn't install it properly

This one should be good to go: A56UAGGQ-refs-euc

please try build 3534

Still erroring out: ICPASXML-refs-euc

[retorquere]

All of these items have at least one single-part name. Can you test what happens for one item if you switch that name to two-part?

[retorquere]

Can you test 3539?

[Prometheos2]

Both of those solutions work
Thank you very much!

Still, what a weird bug ^^'

I wish you happy holidays

[github-actions]

Thanks for the feedback; there's no way you could have known, but @retorquere prefers to keep bugreports/enhancements open as a reminder to merge the changes into a new release.

[retorquere]

The change to two-part names wasn't intended to be a solution, just a diagnosis. The new build is the solution. Thanks for reporting this, I'll roll it out in a new release.
