Zotero 7 crashes while trying to import notes to Obsidian.

[cemesas]

Hi. This same issue was reported in 2021, I guess.

While trying to import notes from Zotero to Obsidian notes, Zotero immediately crashes, with the following message:

Error retrieving cite key
net:ERROR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Cite keys appear to be OK on Zotero.

I have the most up-to-date versions of Better Bibtex in Zotero and of Zotero Integration as of today
Better bibtex: 6.7.236
Zotero Integration: 3.2.1
Pandoc reference list: 2.0.25

What is wrong?

I have the same issue.

Better bibtex: 6.7.238
Zotero Integration: 3.2.1
Zotero: 7.0.5

Try downgrading to Better Bibtex 235.

Unfortunately the issue persists when downgrading.

I tried upgrading to better bibtex 240 as well, but the issue is still there.

I'll also note that I am using Fedora Silverblue and the flatpak version of Zotero (not officially supported). I never had issues with it before. I solved the issue by installing Zotero via a Copr repository. The import tool now works.

Same issue here with all Better bibtex versions 235-240.
The message "Awaiting item selection..." hangs for a few seconds and Zotero crashes.

Better bibtex: 6.7.240
Zotero Integration: 3.2.1
Zotero: 7.0.5

Are you using the flatpak version of Zotero by chance? That seemed to be the root of my issue.

Thanks! That was exactly the issue!

Can confirm - installing Zotero using the tarball on Fedora 40

+1
I reinstalled Zotero 7 from the tarball on Fedora 40 and it works like a charm.
Must be something to do with the flatpak sandbox.
