Problem with LibreOffice Vanilla integration (Mac)

Marclm

I can't get Zotero integrated properly.

First of all the integration wizard can't find the unopkg-file, neither automatically nor by adding a directory.
Secondly a manual installation results in this error: "Connector: Couldn't connect to pipe a5d9cef94dbe7e7f28ac552ff9bcc67a26951b83a9c63ea83c2bb2f36d8c3(10)"

I've installed java, also the Java SE Development Kit 11.0.4.

I run Mojave 10.14.6, LibreOffice Vanilla Version: 6.2.6.2 and Zotero 5.0.74.

Any ideas what might help?

If a manual installation fails, you'd have to get LibreOffice support. The .oxt is just a standard LO extension. Generally the first thing to try is closing LO and moving the entire LO profile folder out of the way.

Thanks for your response. I'll reach out to LibreOffice support right away.

Could you elaborate a bit on the last part? What do you mean by moving the profile folder out of the way?

The LibreOffice Profile folder.

That folder doesn't exist.

Are you sure? You need to open Finder and press Command-Shift-G, then enter ~/Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/4 into the prompt box.

Quite sure - I used the version of LibreOffice by Collabora through the App Store. So I think that command wouldn't find the folder anyway, however the article on wiki took that into account. Still, no such folder.

I found a workaround. There were no issues with integrating Zotero if you download LibreOffice from their website and not through the App Store.

Have a great day!

Yes, a version from the App Store would be sandboxed, so that folder wouldn't be there. We've only tested Zotero with the version from libreoffice.org.
