Zotero Connector for Chrome unable to communicate with the Zotero desktop application
All of a sudden my Zotero connector for Chrome stops working, and I am unable to add directly to my library automatically with the Zotero app open. I have tried the suggestions on https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/connector_zotero_unavailable to no avail. I verified that "Zotero Connector Server is Available" by pinging http://127.0.0.1:23119/. I have disabled a number of Chrome extensions including AdBlock, and uninstalled Malwarebytes which I had recently installed. But nothing works. In short, the Zotero desktop app is open, the Zotero connector is installed and enabled, and 127.0.0.1 port 23119 is active, but " Zotero Connector was unable to communicate with the Zotero desktop application."
2) Restart your computer.
3) Temporarily disable all other installed extensions, not just ones you think might interfere.
Clicking on "Errors" opens a page with list of errors encountered, but there is also no submit button. Might this page be relevant to pinpointing the problem?
I also went to the Zotero Standalone app and clicked on "Report Errors" and "Submit Bug Report." The generated Report ID is 2028162584. Is this relevant?
I went to the Advanced Tab and checked "Enable Logging" under "Debug Output Logging."
After clcking on the Zotero button in an unsuccessful attempt to add a web page to my collection, I return to the Advanced Tab page and click on "Submit Output" button. I get this error message:
An error occurred submitting your debug output.
HTTP request to https://repo.zotero.org/repo/report?debug=1 rejected with status 0
Please check your Internet connection ...
However, my Internet connection seems to be working normally.
That shouldn't be happening based on your debug output, though. As soon as the connector sees Zotero again, which it did in your debug output, it will stop saving to the online library and prompt you again if Zotero becomes unavailable.
