Export to BibTex possibly broken in 4.0.23

mdenieu
I am writing my dissertation and I successfully exported one of my collections to BibTeX about two hours ago. I believe this is when I was still on 4.0.22. Sometime around then I updated zotero to 4.0.23. My firefox is the latest version. Now when I try to export I get the following message:

[javascript application]
An error occurred while tyring to export the selected file

The resulting .bib file looks like this:

@article{teotonio_perspective:_2001,
title = {

I have tried many items throughout my library. It makes no different if I select one or many to export. I have cleared my browser cache, restarted the browser and restarted the computer. It still gives the same error on any item I try. The .bib file always shows the information above for whatever the first item happened to be. BibLaTeX does not work either, but bibliontology RDF for example does. I am not sure what else to do.

    Works for me.

    [JavaScript Error: "ZU.XRegExp.replace is not a function" {file: "/home/[...]/.mozilla/firefox/[...]/zotero/translators/BibTeX.js" line: 897}]
    We'll look into this.

    OK, I was able to reproduce this, but only in Firefox 32. We're still investigating, but the immediate workaround is probably just to upgrade to Firefox 33, which was released today.

    Once it is available in the Fedora repositories I will update and report back. Thanks so much for your help.
  • dstillman
    Better yet, just upgrade to Zotero 4.0.23.1, now available. Thanks for reporting.
  • mdenieu
    It is working just fine now on firefox 32. Thanks for the quick work!
  • mnosefish
    I will try this when I get home. Thanks for your quick work.

    I got the same error for export BibTeX using,
    Firefox 32.0.3 + Zotero 4.0.23
    Export works normal now after update both of them.
    Thanks!

    Upgrade to Firefox 33 and Zotero 4.0.23.1

    When I try to an export a collection BibTex is not an option on the dropdown. BibTex.js is in translator folder. (I think that's relevant.) I just downloaded and installed Zotero but the about box say it's 4.0.23 not 4.0.23.1 Firefox is 33.0.2

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Dustin

    Are you using Zotero Standalone? (that is at 4.0.23) But what's the actual error your are seeing? Can you submit an Error Report? (See Dan's post above)
  • DustinT
    Thanks! I am using standalone. There's no "error message" BibTex simply isn't an option on the dropdown. BibLaTex is the default and that causes errors in Tex.
  • aurimas
    In that case this is not related to the original issue. Please start a new thread for followup questions.

    Even with no error message that's visible to you, you should still be able to provide an error report as per Dan's post above. If you cannot (i.e. report errors is grayed out), post back on the forums (in a new thread).
