better bibtex citation keys not retrieved from zotero 4 about citation.vim HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey thanks for letting me know, and glad you like it! Sorry Zotero 4 stopped working. I stopped actively supporting it after I personally upgraded (and forgot to keep a database copy for testing!). It also has a different database schema and file system layout so it's a little difficult.

Pinning an older version is a good idea. But you could also download zotero 5.0 and install it manually in /opt/zotero which was what I did for early testing. It's actually much faster and more stable than 4.0 so there are a lot of advantages besides this plugin working. Betterbibtex has finally migrated as well so there's not much to lose except an hour working out how to get it working :)

Also you can also manually delete your cache file. I should really version the cache so that happens automatically!

from citation.vim.

Thinking about this I've never treated this plugin as if that many people use it that I need to maintain testing for multiple versions, but apparently I was wrong about that! In future I will keep virtual machines for testing multiple versions of Zotero/Better bibtex etc.

I don't really have time for setting up for Zotero 4 again to test any fixes, but I would be happy if anyone put in a pull request to revert the breaking changes, while maintaining current functionality.
