stopped updating bib file

[markdykman]

Debug log ID

LZM3J8E5-euc/6.7.263-7

What happened?

Zotero stopped updating the bib file

[retorquere]

Can you enable debug logging in the help menu, reproduce the problem, and send a new log?

[markdykman]

Done, The log is 4BL43U54-euc/7.0.0-7. I will send the zip file in response to your e-mail.

[github-actions]

Thanks for the feedback! Just so you know, GitHub doesn't let me control who can close issues, and @retorquere likes to leave bug reports and enhancements open as a nudge to merge them into the next release.

[markdykman]

Thank you. The system is unstable with WIndows 11.

What email?

The system is unstable with WIndows 11.

What system?

Did you mean to close the issue?

[retorquere]

I'm not seeing auto-export activity in 4BL43U54-euc

[markdykman]

Debug Log ID is BM625NZC-euc/7.0.0-7 I am running version 7.0.0, but getting the message that the most recent version is 6.7.267. The problem is the updating: it does not work regularly, sometimes update takes a day, sometimes a couple hours.

[retorquere]

You have the update delay set to 25 seconds, is that deliberate? 25 seconds makes it fairly easy to push back updates for a long time.

[markdykman]

Thank you. Tried 2 sec. Seems to make no difference.

[markdykman]

There used to be a command “update now” but I don’t see it

[retorquere]

Can you post a screenshot?

[markdykman]

Done in github, file doc1.pdf

[retorquere]

All attachments and images are dropped by github if you respond to issues by mail. I much prefer web-posted responses, github adds a fair bit of cruft for emailed responses.

[markdykman]

That's what I've done. A pdf file with the screenshot on GitHub

I wish it worked

Your last question was "there was this button", I explained you where it was.

If the button does not work, you can either keep wishing, or reproduce the problem and send a log. The latter will allow me to look into the problem. I have very little patience for passive-aggressive problem reports.

🤖 this is your friendly neighborhood build bot announcing test build 7.0.5.7595 ("notion issues")

This update may name other issues, but the build just dropped here is for you; it just means problems already fixed in other issues have been folded into the work we are doing here. Install in Zotero by downloading test build 7.0.5.7595, opening the Zotero "Tools" menu, selecting "Add-ons", open the gear menu in the top right, and select "Install Add-on From File...".

[retorquere]

Can you replicate the problem and send a new log from build 7595?

[markdykman]

Thank you! The system started working. The log tab has disappeared, I cannot send the log. However, updates are working. With the new Microsoft update it became impossible even to export the library. It now works, too.

Better Bibtex was autoexporting for a couple days and stopped again. The debug log number is D1395642348. Interestingly, it does not show correctly the date of the last update, "Export now" does not work. Again, it is again impossible to export the whole file from the "File" tab.

[retorquere]

I cannot access Zotero D<number> logs. BBT logs have either -euc or -apse in the ID.

[markdykman]

Ran again zotero-better-bibtex-7.0.5.7595.xpi, and the update was done. Interesting!

I see Debug Output in Help, it says "submitted with Debug ID D620509018". I can copy and send the file. But if I just have to periodically reinstall your .xpi file, I can live with it.

again:

You need "Send Better BibTeX Debug Log" or "Send debug log to file.io".

But if I just have to periodically reinstall your .xpi file, I can live with it.

The reinstall in and of itself has no effect. If the debug build fixes it for you (it has various fixes from other issues), it stays fixed. Which would be good to know, because these fixes will go into the upcoming release. If it does not fix it, periodic reinstalls will do nothing.

[markdykman]

It is unstable. I was sending debug logs from "File" and from "Help". Apparently, it didn't work. Interestingly, "help" looses enabling Debug Output Logging spontaneously. Doesn't work now. I suspect Microsoft may be doing something "behind the scene", the laptop is on the internet.

It is unstable. I was sending debug logs from "File" and from "Help".

There are two (sometimes three) debug log options in the help menu. One goes to Zotero, one to me. If the BBT option does not appear, file.io should. Both go to me.

Apparently, it didn't work.

The zotero one works, I just have no access to those logs.

Interestingly, "help" looses enabling Debug Output Logging spontaneously.

That would be a zotero bug.

Doesn't work now. I suspect Microsoft may be doing something "behind the scene", the laptop is on the internet.

Unlikely. If you can no longer enable debug logging, you should report that on the zotero forums.
