[5.0 Beta] I Cannot add citation in the "old" Word document

LiborA

Today I can add a new citation in my "old" document, but I have been got an error message "Zotero experienced an error updating your document. Unsupported library type ´undefined´ in Zotero.URI.getLibraryPath()". If I open new MS Word document, there is no problem to add the citation.
Standalone Zotero 5.0-beta.r70+da7da74; Windows 10; MS Word 2010

Report ID?

And if you're able to narrow this down to a small portion of the document using the Debugging Broken Documents steps, you can send the file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread and we can take a look.

Report ID : 1327702649
In my document was not a lot of citation so I create copy of my document delete all citation and add all citation again (original "broken" document is still available for testing if you can take a look)

Are you citing items from a group library by any chance?

dstillman

@LiborA: Yes, if you could send the broken document to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, that would be helpful, thanks. (I suggested the debugging steps just in case you wanted to cut it down and not send the whole document.)

@adomasven: I have been try to add items from local library and from group library, no diference, still error.

I'm not seeing anything problematic in the document you sent, so it'd be great if you could narrow it down to the smallest section that causes a problem — ideally a single citation — as explained in the Debugging Broken Documents instructions.

Same issue;
Zotero experienced an error updating your document.
Unsupported library type 'undefined' in Zotero.URI.getLibraryPath()
I am using standalone, and had just updated the Microsoft Word add-in.
I can't add a new reference, set document preferences, or edit a reference.

Following Debugging broken documents instructions:
Copying to new document didn't solve problem.
Making a copied document didn't solve problem.
Deleting Bibliography didn't work.
Error new errors appear after attempting to insert a citation.
Error report No 930553728
Deleting half document worked!
Deleting single citation worked! (finding it was hard - long document!)
Inserting the new citation caused the same problem until inserted it afresh and edited it within show editor window.
Document excerpt sent.

@hamigos: Thanks for the document. Assuming you can still reproduce this with that document, could you upgrade to the latest beta, build 106, and generate a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for this with that? That will hopefully give us a bit more info on what's happening.

This is likely fixed in the latest build, 111. There was a problem updating citations for items that had been replaced via merge.

I'm still having this problem with 5.0 beta 106.
I merged an item in Zotero.
After returning to Word, I received the same 'Unsupported library type' error from above.
My only workaround has been to remove the citation for the merged item from the document, and to re-create the item in Zotero.

adamsmith

Do you actually mean beta 106? Then please update. The beta is in the 130s now.

jamespl

Many thanks. All working now. My mistake: I didn't realise my Zotero wasn't auto-updating.
