Connector is not communicating from google doc (Linux, chromium)

yarikoptic
zotero is running and I can "ping" it:

```
❯ curl -v http://127.0.0.1:23119/connector/ping
* Trying 127.0.0.1:23119...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 23119

```

in Chromium Version 135.0.7049.95 (Official Build) built on Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid (64-bit) with Zotero Connector 5.0.165 when I reload google doc I get the first error reported, "kixAddZoteroMenu.js:123 Uncaught (in promise) Reference Error: Zotero is not defined":

And when I in the menu choose "Zotero -> Add/edit bibliography" I get the "Is zotero running" and another error:

    Are you getting the same dialog when you try to save from webpages?
  • yarikoptic
    It seems to work ok when I click on zotero extension icon on webpages. This is specifically when used within Google doc
  • dstillman
    Have you disabled all other browser extensions and reloaded Google Docs?
  • yarikoptic
    no, I have not done that since I did not know it is a requirement for the extension to work... FWIW, I definitely reloaded Google Docs many times since I installed it and force-reloaded that page a number of times while troubleshooting. Now I have disabled all other extensions (besides PDF viewer, seems system wide install?) , without reload -- the same story with just more complaints from disabled and then removed "offline" extension for google docs:

    will restart browser now....
  • yarikoptic
    FWIW, exactly the same (with the same "bad memories" about offline docs) after restart

    We don't test on Chromium, and while it should work just as well as on Chrome, this may be specific to Chromium, or some configuration option in the way it was built for you. Can you reproduce this with a Chrome build?
  • dstillman
    no, I have not done that since I did not know it is a requirement for the extension to work
    (It's not, of course, but it's a troubleshooting step on the linked troubleshooting page.)
