Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2023 17:50:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ea0d8557-f67d-c8b1-522f-b5ad37612d99@ninecats.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1884 bytes --]
Since upgrading to emacs 29.1 org-cite-insert no longer copes with
bibliography files in json format where there is an entry for a book
that has only editors and no author.
Expected behaviour:
Running org-cite-insert opens the bibliography file and allows me to
search for a citation and insert it in the org file I’m editing.
Actual behaviour:
Running org-cite-insert fails to open the bibliography file with the
following error:
org-cite-basic--key-completion-table: Wrong type argument: stringp,
(((family . "Asimov") (given . "Isaac")) ((family . "Greenberg") (given
. "Martin H.")))
(The exact error alters depending on the contents of the entry it fails on.)
Reproducing:
Attached are two bibliography files, citation-test-only-editor.json and
citation-test-author.json, the first of which has a single entry of a
book with two editors and no author, the second has the same book but
I’ve changed one editor to an author. Create an org file with
“#+bibliography: citation-test-only-editor.json” or “#+bibliography:
citation-test-author.json” at the top, and try running org-cite-insert.
Notes:
- The problem persists with emacs -Q.
- It is not a problem if I export my bibliography as a .bib file, just
when it’s a .json file.
- It worked as I expected in emacs 28.2.
- Other parts of using org-cite seem to be unaffected but I haven’t
exhaustively tested – I have just noted that manually typing in the
citation and exporting the org file with a #+print_bibliography: line
worked as expected and fontifying manually entered citations with
org-cite-csl-activate works as expected.
Best wishes,
Margaret Patterson.
