Debugging Errors

Matt Klenk 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago 2

I get the following error: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 


A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

Sorry for the ugly debug message, but this is actually just pointing out a problem with your bib file. There is a comma missing behind "title" in the dehghani2008 entry.
@inproceedings{dehghani2008,
  title={Order of Magnitude Reasoning in Modeling Moral Decision-Making}
  author={Morteza Dehghani and Emmett Tomai and Ken Forbus and Matthew Klenk},
  journal={Proceedings of the 22nd international workshop on qualitative reasoning},
  year={2008},
  url={http://matthewklenk.com/papers/QR08-MoralDM.pdf}

Grouping by Keyword feature seems broken

Amit Deokar 10 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 7

It used to be the case (at least some months back) that BibBase allowed grouping publications by using the keywords mentioned in Mendeley or BibTeX. This does not seem to be the case anymore. Can this feature be restored? It is very useful to demonstrate/list publications according to research streams/themes.

Answer
Christian Fritz 10 years ago

Hi Amit,

This should still be possible. The dropdown menu doesn't contain this, but on your page you can still use the &groupby=keyword parameter in your bibbase URL. Please also give me your bibbase URL so I can verify that for myself.

Filtering issues

Benjamin Parrell 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 5 years ago 4

I'm having a few issues with filtering. Our goal for using Bibbase was to have a single repository that individual lab members could also pull from for their individual web pages. For the most part, everything is working great. I seem to find two issues though:

1) Filtering by author doesn't seem to work with my bibtex file for some reason (e.g. http://bibbase.org/show?bib=udel.edu%2F~parrell%2FSPPlab.bib&msg=embed&filter=author:Heinz)

2) Is it possible to filter by more than one criteria?


I really appreciate your support--Bibbase is a great service, and maybe I'm just asking it to do too much.

Awesome! Good to know that works.


Mind if I make this question public so others who may run into the same issue can find it?

If you write in Spanish and use \'{a} or á, BibBase does not work fine.

Can you point me to a bibtex file with which you are having this problem? This should work. What is the error you are getting?

Thanks.

Some (large?) files won't work

Maximilian Held 10 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 10 years ago 2
As mentioned earlier, I sometimes run into problems with (large?) files.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxheld83/give-n... won't work, just give me a "no data" timeout or something.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxheld83/emile/... also produced by BibDesk and hosted on github works just fine.

Grouping and Sorting Entries

Matt Klenk 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago 0

I prefer to have my entries displayed by Journal, Conference, and Workshop (http://www.matthewklenk.com/).  This is different than type because Conference and workshop are both @inproceedings.


Is this possible?  If so, are there any examples of this?


Answer
Christian Fritz 11 years ago

(for completeness, adding the answer here again)

Yes, this is possible if you have a separate field in your bibtex entries that denote the kind of venue. You can group by any field in your entries.

Journal title does not display

SerengetiT 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago 1

I did a new collection with import from mendeley and the bibbase page does not display full citation. Notably, Journal, conference or book title is not displayed or in the generated bibtex file. example;

http://www.bibbase.org/cgi-bin/pyBibBase/pyBibBase.cgi?bib=www.bibbase.org/mendeley/group/3315411&charset=utf-8&groupby=year


Older collections do not have that problem, so not sure if this is a bug or other?

Answer
Christian Fritz 11 years ago

Yes, I'm aware of this issue. I believe it only happens for groups, so if you have a collection containing all the same papers then it should work fine. There are some issues with the Mendeley API that I need to work through to fix this.

No Data message

Madhur Behl 10 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 10 years ago 9
I know there is another thread discussing the same problem but I have tried clearing the cache as suggested. 
The problem is that when I run Bibbase on the .bib file, I keep getting the 'No Data' message. 
Am I missing something obvious ?
The URL to my BibTeX file is http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~mbehl/pubs/pubs.bib
Answer
Christian Fritz 10 years ago
When bibbase tries to receive that bib file, it received the following message instead:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>419 unused</title>
</head><body>
<h1>unused</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@seas.upenn.edu and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>
</body></html>

I can't quite tell you why at this point. I can manually retrieve your bib file using curl or wget just fine. But it isn't an error that I've ever seen before, so I do suspect that the message is true and that there might be something misconfigured with your web-server. Your admin should check the logs.

Sorry for displaying a more descriptive error message in this case. It just doesn't happen more than once in a blue moon.
