Zotero 7 Beta: XML Parsing Error: no root element found
I have observed for some plugins a popup window with the error:
I have reported to the plugin developer, but it seems to be a problem experienced by several plugins, so it may be something related to Zotero itself.
The same error was also reported in a previous post for other plugins.
Here is the debugging done with the help of @hsiangyu_wong to obtain the steps to reproduce: https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-actions-tags/issues/197
Running the following script with all plugins disabled triggers the error popup:

progress = new progressWin.ItemProgress(

progressWin.show();

I still see the same popup after running this script.

I have uninstalled Zotero, but did not click on the checkbox to remove personal data.
After restart of Zotero, I still get the same popup from the script, with all plugins disabled.
Remove my Zotero personal data and customizations
.This time, it solved the problem.
I was expecting this option to actually "Remove my Zotero personal data", including the "Zotero Data Directory": https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data
But it did not remove my
storage
folder.Is that folder the only thing that is not deleted when I uninstall Zotero with that option ticked? Or are there other things also left untouched?
I would have found it useful to get a more clear notice during uninstalling that the storage folder is not touched by this process.
That uninstall option is from Firefox, and all it does is delete the profile folder. (Also, you don't mean the
storage
folder — that's just a subfolder of the data directory. The relevant folders for a discussion like this are the profile directory and the data directory.)Are you using the same locale as before?
So I don't know what triggered the problem.
For the uninstallation message, I just want to make sure I have understood:
- The "profile directory" is the one described here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/profile_directory
So for me on Windows 10:
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\<randomstring>
- The "data directory" is the one described here: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data
So for me on Windows 10:
C:\Users\<User Name>\Zotero
The "data directory" includes the
storage
folder.The uninstallation option says:
Remove my Zotero personal data and customizations
I was expecting the
personal data
part of the message to refer to the "data directory", and therefore include thestorage
folder. I mentioned specifically thestorage
folder, because it is the one containing the "personal data" I was worried would be deleted (the items, attached PDF files, annotations, ...) and I would have to download again.But from your reply, I understand that this option is refering only to the "profile directory" and not to the "data directory". This explains why my "personal data" in the
storage
folder was not deleted.https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u5227262/1iuxzf2mcr59j0x1ryax.png
How can I make it disaper
how can I fix it ?
