error when exporting collection through betterBibTeX exporter

Report ID: 752182489

When I try to export one of my collections (about 15 entries) by right click --> Export collection and chosing the betterBiBTeX exporter, I get an error:

[Javascript Application] An error occurred while trying to export the selected file.

and the exported file only contains this text:

--------------------------------

--------------------------------

Please note that the internal Zotero BibTeX exporter works fine.

I am using Zotero 4.0.17 and Better BibTeX plugin 0.0.51 (and ZotFile 3.0.3 in case it matters) on Windows 8 x64 Enterprise.

Maybe I should have posted this issue in the Plugins category, but I was unsure. In case, please move it to the relevant section, and sorry, this is my first issue report...

Please report BBT errors on https://github.com/friflaj/zotero-better-bibtex/issues; I can't get notified when someone posts on the plugin here, nor can I access the error report. Fortunately, "charlie80" notified me in this case.

Could you export the collection as MODS and attach it to the bug report on github?

Sure, give me some minutes. Thanks for your help.

Oh, hey, it's your error report :) Super, appreciate the feedback.

Looks like I can't attach an XML file to the github issue tracker... should I copy-paste it in the text of the report on github?

Please paste it in a gist, easier for me to pull down cleanly

I think this discussion can be closed...problem is fixed in 0.0.52 and is being discussed along with other issues on the github issue tracker.
