Bug with the last update!!!

[WMAM]

Zotero auto-updated the add-on, and after rebooting:

1. I can't enter into the Tools>Add-ons (no action!)
2. Looks like the BBT plugin is not working anymore
3. Your plugin does not update new notes from Obsidian

Zotero has no update, so it should not be a bug from their side.

EDIT: As the command menu "Add-ons" does not work, I can't even uninstall it.

Hi @WMAM - That's extremely bizarre (I can't imagine what could prevent you from being able to open the Add-ons menu). Can you let me know what OS and version of Zotero you're running so that I can try to reproduce it? Thanks for letting me know.

To disable the addon, you can run this code in the Javascript console (Tools -> Developer -> Run JavaScript):

be sure to check the "Run as async" box.

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");

var deferred = Zotero.Promise.defer();
function onHaveInstalledAddons(installed) {
	var addons = [];
	for (let addon of installed) {
		if (addon.id === 'daeda@mit.edu') {
			addon.userDisabled = true;
			addons.push(addon);
		}
	}
	deferred.resolve(addons);
}

AddonManager.getAllAddons(onHaveInstalledAddons);
return deferred.promise;

Then restart Zotero and you should be able to open the Add-on pane. If you want, you can install the previous version (0.0.10) and set it to not auto-update while I track down the source of this bug.

[WMAM]

Hi!
Thank you for your answer! I am running Windows 11 & Zotero 5.0.97-beta.63+035aac30f

I did not succeed to open the addon menu after running that code 2 or 3 times.

Restarting Zotero appears this message SliceObj Error:1

[daeh]

@WMAM can you post the output of that code snippet here?

[WMAM]

I don't know if this can help you... On Github v.0.11 says that the JSON library is not necessary anymore, but the ObsidianCitationPreference is still giving that option:

Meanwhile, I restarted my PC because of a Windows update, and... SURPRISE: everything is running right now:

BBT & ObsidianCitation plugins are running
I can open the Add-on pane
and the ObsidianCitations Preference window has changed for a new one

[daeh]

Cool. OK. that's great to know. You somehow had the addon installed twice, so you had both the v0.0.10 and v0.0.11.

Zotero handles the autoupdates, so I'm not sure how zotero could allow that to happen, but it's really good to be aware of. I'm guessing it's because you're using the beta release of Zotero, and they haven't ironed out add-on auto-update entirely.

Let me know if you run into any other issues!

[WMAM]

Thank you... have a nice day!
