Translation issue when saving paper from arXiv

sagelywizard · August 10, 2017

I'm using Zotero Connector 5.0.17 for Chrome and Zotero standalone 5.0.8 on Mac and Linux. When I try to save certain papers from arXiv, I get an error about translation issues. When I look at the console, I see this error: "Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'length' in undefined" on line 1244 of zotero/utilities.js.

Here's a paper where it happens. https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.05192

Any ideas why?
Thanks!

I don't seem to have any problems with Ubuntu. Update translators in Zotero Preferences -> General and then in the Connector Preferences -> Advanced and try again?

I'm having the same issue on Chrome and Windows 10.

Does updating translators not help? Could you submit a Report ID?

This is a (temporary) arXiv issue. See https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/1369#issuecomment-321712051

Yep, I tried updating the translators a few times. It sounds like it was a temporary arXiv issue, as it seems to be working now for the paper I linked earlier. Thanks!
