Not saving as a book on Worldcat

As of maybe a week ago, I'm having the same problem as the user in this thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/119674/chrome-extension-error-on-books

I followed the extension debugging instructions and submitted this debug ID --- D1670640567

Here's what else I know:

(this is what pops up when I try to save the url below) [title of the book] snapshot An error occurred saving with Open WorldCat. Attempting to save using Embedded Metadata instead.


(what I see when I hover over the Zotero button) Save to Zotero (open worldcat) has access to this site

This is the exact url I was trying to save https://search.worldcat.org/title/1359606865

The "book" icon is visible but it saves as a web page
I checked for updates and/or updated the extension, chrome, and Zotero desktop.

I did a quick check on Jstor.org and zotero correctly saved a random item that I chose.

Any ideas?
  • OK so nobody has responded to this one. Is anybody else having this problem? Maybe we could ask for help as a group?
  • Ran the debugging thing again. Here's the output: 435869376
  • Open the Zotero Connector preferences and click Reset Translators, then reload the WorldCat page and try saving again.

    If it's still not working, we'll need a Debug ID for the full process: enable debug logging, then reload the WorldCat page and try to save, then submit the debug log. The Debug ID you posted starts after you tried to save the item (and the second ID you posted is a Report ID, not a Debug ID).
  • Did the above and it's still saving worldcat book citations as web pages - the debug ID is D295407140. Can you help?
