Error in Zotero Reference test pane

haflidieg · October 16, 2012

Hi,

I'm trying to edit a style in the Zotero Reference Test pane but I get the following error:

Error parsing style:
TypeError: CSL.Attributes[attrname] is undefined

I tried switching styles in the Export section of Preferences, highlighting a different source the reference list and restarting the computer but the same error always occurs.
Does anybody here know how to fix this?

Your style is probably not valid: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#validation

Are you sure that's the problem? I tried switching to the styles that are included with Zotero but got the same error.

No, I was not sure at all. And if it doesn'' work either when you switch, that's clearly not the issue.
Did you put a locator (i.e. page number, etc)? "Citation is:" "first"?

Which zotero (standalone or firefox, version)?

(I'm still suspecting a style issue - does this also appear if you close the test pane, reopen it and select a pre-installed style?)

Ahhh, I was supposed to select a style in "Citation is:" instead of the Export section of Preferences. Stupid me.

Thanks for the help :)
