Upgrade to Zotero 7 beta.69+56c363521 and Plugin Error

zara.rashid
I am facing with below error immediately after updating my Zotero 7 to a new beta version 69+56c363521. I reinstalled Better Bibtex (the plugin which the error is related to), but the error still remains.

The error message:
@jar:file:///C:/Users/zarar/AppData/Roaming/Zotero/Zotero/Profiles/l7mv6619.default/extensions/better-bibtex@iris-advies.com.xpi!/bootstrap.js:40:12
@jar:file:///C:/Users/zarar/AppData/Roaming/Zotero/Zotero/Profiles/l7mv6619.default/extensions/better-bibtex@iris-advies.com.xpi!/bootstrap.js:157:3
_loadScope@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/plugins.js:161:27
Zotero.Plugins</this.init@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/plugins.js:56:17



I attempted to download an older beta version of Z7 from below link:
https://www.zotero.org/support/beta_builds?do=revisions

...however, every time, despite using different download links, I end up downloading the same file instead of older Zotero beta versions. Any solution for the error message or are there mirror links where I can download the previous versions of Zotero 7 beta.

    This is a problem in BBT, but the startup error it caused in Zotero was fixed within a few hours in 7.0.0-beta.70. You just need to reinstall from the beta page.

    Updated to beta 70 just now, and Better BibTex stopped working although it appeared in the Add-ons Manager window (disappeared in the Zotero Settings window though). Reinstalled Beta 70 using downloaded build from the beta page, removed and reinstalled BBT, but nothing changed. BBT can be seen in Add-on list, but not functioning.

    PS: it is now Tools>Plugins, but the window itself is still titled "Add-ons Manager"?

    Some plugins will need to be updated for beta 69 and above — beta 70 just fixed the startup error for plugins that were broken. You'd have to ask the BBT developer what the status of the update is, but I assume he's working on it.

    There is an opened issue, yes: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues/2829
