t-wissmann / rofi-bibbrowser Goto Github PK

Hi, thanks for providing this tool (though I didn't manage to have it work yet).

I could be good to mention the minimum version of bibtexparser. Your script didn't work with the system-wide version 0.6.2 on Ubuntu 18.04. Some things worked better with version 1.0.1 from pip for Python3 but I still get some errors which may not be related to bibtexparser (cf. next issue).

I didn't manager to run your plugin with rofi -show bib:~/.local/share/rofi/rofi-bibbrowser. The first error I got was:

(process:3604): Helper-WARNING **: 14:52:11.644: Failed to set lock on pidfile: Rofi already running?

(process:3604): Helper-WARNING **: 14:52:11.644: Got error: -1 Socket operation on non-socket

    proc.stdin.write((e).encode('utf-8'))

So I've tried to install this but unsure how to.

rofi, xdg-open, xclip are in my path.

If you install it as a subdirectory, make sure that you call rofi-bibbrowser with an absolute path and not through a symlink that is in a PATH directory. I guess this is also understandable but not sure how to use rofi-bibbrowser?

Does it need to install by

python setup.py install? If so how to uninstall? Sorry I am not that experienced with python.

Ain't sure if you're still developing/using rofi-bibbrowser, but it seems to be quite an useful script and I would love to use it. When I try to load it, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./rofi-bibbrowser", line 208, in <module> e['_filenames'] = list(generate_filenames(e)) File "./rofi-bibbrowser", line 128, in generate_filenames result = generator(entry) File "./rofi-bibbrowser", line 107, in filenameBibID return entry['ID'] KeyError: 'ID'
I also get just before that many warnings about non-standard entries, but I guess rofi-bibbrowser is just not biblatex compatible. I'm using jabref to manage my bibtex library; perhaps is there code produced by jabef that confuse the script?
