Oh sorry, maybe I already had a short citation on my clipboard, though I don't know how. No worries, thanks again for the workflow, even without citation it is an easier way to look something up.

It happens regardless of what I type in, I can type in garbage, or doctor who, or new girl, or breaking bad, or one word as well

Hi again Stephen, Here is the log for the error I'm getting Thanks, D.

Ok, the first export I tried to do this time worked! It was a short citation and I've copied the debug report to https://gist.github.com/a63db8b59a5570f2aae2.git The second export didn't work, it was a full citation. https://gist.github.com/b89491130e17551b2345.git Third export was for same zotero entry as first one, full citation and didn't work: https://gist.github.com/cb0651da62514a6e0a8e.git I've just realised that you also wrote the Kickass worksflow - which I also can't get to work! I get a 'nonetype' object has no attribute 'text' error! But isn't the place for that! I'm not sure where is, maybe you can direct me. I hope this isn't a hassle for you, you probably have other things to do, I have the night off!

Hmm. That is interesting. If I go to zotero and seach for 'olden' none of the entries are missing a last name, same for 'olde', there are a lot more entries for 'old' but I couldn't find any missing a last name there either, that said, I am sure that some of my zotero data has some funny points! Lots without any names for example (newspaper articles without author), others with only last name. As far as I can work out, no. I should have said, I do get a notification saying that data has been copied to the clipboard: Full reference Copied! Format:[stuff] My zotero is synced, and I access it on my ipad and iphone regularly, using zotpad and papership. I'm not bothered at all by the small bugs, it's a great job your doing, I'm pleased to be able to help. I checked my zotero settings, and the key and userid is correct, it says that zotquery last accessed zotero 3 mins ago. I don't know if this could be related, but I've never been able to get copy and paste from zotero standalone to work, I need to drag my files into scrivener (another reason why zotquery looks so appealing!) These days I can use Alfred's clipboard for recently used cites which is also handy. Another bit of information: Last night I added another attachment to an entry - when I search for that entry now using ZQ it says theres only 1 attachment, I have tried updating the cache and zotero tells me it is synced. I hope that gives you the information you need to debug some more, let me know if there's anything else I can do. Damian

Hi Stephen, I'm happy to be a bug finder. Once I get this working well, I think it will be great. I'm using scrivener to write my thesis, and being able to get the scannable cite quickly is really handy. Below is the bug report for 'z: olden'. I can usually follow what people are talking about, but I actually know next to no coding, and can't 'really' follow the workflows, or understand anything about the API unfortunately. It is the best I can do to modify a citation style using the mendeley visual editor. I have read your blog post however. When I write z: I really mean z [enter], I sort of thought z: was shorthand for that. I may have misunderstood. Anyway, as I said, below is the bug report for z [enter] olden, which should show up a single entry I have for olden as creator, plus a few extra such as one where 'golden' is in the title. Also when I find another citation and use either alt or ctrl to export a citation, when I go to scrivener there is nothing on my clipboard. I'll post another bug report for that experience.

Thanks for the fix and sorry for the delay, I don't think I got an email notification and then forgot to check for a reply. That has indeed fixed it, and I did the same thing for z: config option, as that didn't seem to be working either, though I could be mistaken, it works now regardless. A funny thing is happening, when I type some things, (maybe most things, I haven't been using it a great deal, but am bringing into my workflow more often) for example z [enter] smith, it works fine, I get my options, but when I'm typing 'z: olden' I get a 'string out of range' error, then it switches to 'search google, search wiki (also search zotero as the third option, which doesn't work if I choose it) Debug is below: Ok, I'm not actually getting anything in the debug window, perhaps because it's not completing an operation? And when it type z: debug, I get: (Ok I'm writing this as I go along, this time I got a debug report, on the z: debug command which is below:) Starting debug for 'ZotQuery' [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: 02:54:18 workflow.py:1457 DEBUG Stored data loaded from : /Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.hackademic.zotquery2/local_zotero.json 02:54:18 workflow.py:1514 DEBUG Stored data saved at : /Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.hackademic.zotquery2/local_zotero.json 02:54:18 workflow.py:1457 DEBUG Stored data loaded from : /Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.hackademic.zotquery2/zotquery_backend.json 02:54:18 workflow.py:2150 DEBUG Got password : com.hackademic.zotquery2:web_zotero 02:54:18 workflow.py:2044 INFO Checking for update ... 02:54:18 background.py:180 DEBUG Command arguments cached to `/Users/Damiennew/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/com.hackademic.zotquery2/__workflow_update_check.argcache` 02:54:18 background.py:184 DEBUG Calling [u'/usr/bin/python', '/Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.803FD61C-8B7B-408C-937D-A6271DE66336/workflow/background.pyc', u'__workflow_update_check'] ... 02:54:18 workflow.py:1903 DEBUG Workflow finished in 0.003 seconds. 02:54:18 workflow.py:1903 DEBUG Workflow finished in 0.006 seconds. 02:54:18 background.py:189 DEBUG Executing task `__workflow_update_check` in background... 02:54:18 zotquery.py:95 INFO - - - NEW RUN - - - 02:54:18 zotquery.py:106 INFO Input arguments : [u'search', u'debug'] 02:54:18 workflow.py:1888 ERROR coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.803FD61C-8B7B-408C-937D-A6271DE66336/workflow/workflow.py", line 1886, in run func(self) File "zotquery.py", line 108, in main res = pd.run(argv) File "zotquery.py", line 64, in run return method() File "zotquery.py", line 69, in search_codepath return search.search(self.flag, self.arg, self.wf) File "/Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.803FD61C-8B7B-408C-937D-A6271DE66336/zotquery/search.py", line 530, in search query = config.decode(query) File "/Users/Damiennew/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.803FD61C-8B7B-408C-937D-A6271DE66336/workflow/workflow.py", line 2263, in decode text = unicode(text, encoding) TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found 02:54:18 workflow.py:1903 DEBUG Workflow finished in 0.013 seconds.

I can't seen to change my preferences (export style). When I type z:prefs into alfred, nothing happens.

That's worked thanks. I look forward to checking it out now! edit: btw just fyi, it didn't overwrite the old version but installed another one. I deleted both and reinstalled, then it worked.

Thanks for replying. Running z:config with debugger Starting debug for 'ZotQuery' [iNFO: alfred.workflow.input.keyword] Processing output 'alfred.workflow.action.script' with arg '' Anytime I go to search (since I haven't gotten past step one I don't really understand the options yet), but I type zot for example and alfred shows underneath 'search your zotero library (titles)' and other options, as well as launching zotero, but as soon as I type in another letter (after a space), it goes to search google, amazon or wikipedia. I hope that helps!

Hi, I'm having a similar problem to an earlier user. Downloaded zotquery and installed the workflow - when i run z:config nothing happens. I'm not as clued up as previous poster to run terminal commands though I did try - the only thing I noticed is the my library directory is directly of my harddrive so: sshd/library/application support and then no alfred. If I go to users then its sshd/users/damoeire then no application support directory. Only an applications directory (and 15-20 other directory's). I only bought Alfred for zotquery! Any advice? thanks, Damian
