Upgrade Storageproblem with engines.json
hi everyone,
(i searched and it seems to me that this question is new)
i modified the engines.json adding the isidore engine with the script given by m.pouyllau (https://gitlab.huma-num.fr/pouyllau/ISIDORtero).
everything is going well, the lookup engines list appears with isidore inside it.
but.
after adding to engines.json any of the engines listed in http://egh.github.io/zotero-lookup-engines/ (say. e.g. the LOC engine), when i click the lookup button, no engines do appear. like the engines.json file results faulty.
any idea from scratch, before i post the quite long source code of my not working engines.json?
thank you for you help!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
it seems to me that i respect the rules you mention.
i take the original engines.json
i add to it the LOC engine copied from http://egh.github.io/zotero-lookup-engines/
but the lookup list is void.
any idea? maurizio

can this be a problem?

yes, it was a matter of brackets balance.
i opened and added the engines inside a code-aware editor and saw that there was a problem of brackets balance. balanced the brackets, everything is working well.
thank you so much for the hint.
nevertyheless the code is validated.
BTW what are the relations among:
"name": "University of California Libraries",
"alias": "MELVYL",
...
"description": "Search University of California Libraries",
"alias": "university_of_california_libraries"
and how is it that an alias can be a random alphanumeric string:
"description":"Search Library of Congress",
"alias":"2e7d0ad247f9423c9259420313be5c66"
?
thank you so much for your help!
