Error message: obj.toJSON is not a function

arnau.montagud · April 24, 2019

Hi,
I am unable to sync from Zotero desktop with "obj.toJSON is not a function" error message. The Report ID is 1085783634.

I am using an updated version of Zotero and Word and Firefox connectors.

I recently added a couple of articles and trying to solve this issue I tried to remove them from Trash, but was unable to in the Zotero desktop. These items could be removed permanently in Zotero web.

Thanks!

According to this thread https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/72895/reset-error-1351842036 a Debug ID may be more useful than a Report ID. Could you provide it following https://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output#debug_output_logging?

Hi poettli and thanks for your prompt reply.

I reverted to a previous sqlite file and manually added the articles. It was a problem with the Zotero translator from biorxiv. It is now solved after reading this: https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues

Thanks

That error should never happen, so if you see it again we would indeed want a Debug ID for the sync attempt.

Sure thing!
I am trying to reproduce the error with the old sqlite, but I seem unable to.
Thanks
