Error when saving for some ACM DL publications

uhengart · June 8, 2022

I'm failing to save the publications from ACM CHI '22 to Zotero. For example, https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3491102.3502125 gives me an error.

I don't have a problem for other ACM Digital Library publications.

The Debug ID is D701987486.

Thanks.

@AbeJellinek can you look at this? Something going on with CSLtoJSON, but fairly obscure. E.g. here's a working conference paper:

I'm also seeing errors importing some items from ACM DL. For example, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3428284 appears to fail every time.

My connector report ID is 353394254.

This issue seems to be related to @dstillman's schema fix 1 month ago (https://github.com/zotero/zotero-schema/commit/b81cba2bdd2f8f68ae4aea49fdd0d9b371fc15c6) which removed the `number` -> `archive_id` mapping.

The documents in this thread which are failing have a `number` field, so they cause a failure in versions before the schema fix.

Zotero 6.0.9 includes the schema fix, and importing these documents now works if you import by URL directly in Zotero desktop.

The browser connectors appear to have their own copy of the schema however, and it is not yet updated with this fix, so trying to import via browser connector still fails for the moment.

I believe all that's needed then is for an updated connector to be released which includes the schema fix.

That makes sense, yes, thanks for checking. I was testing the CSL JSON with a beta that already had the schema change, so didn't hit the issue there, which made it extra confusing.

Thanks — this should be fixed the latest Zotero Connector beta for Firefox. We'll put out a new release build with this fix soon.

Thanks, I can confirm the beta connector indeed fixes this issue.
