Bug Description

Unity-scope-zotero only yields results if _all_ paths defined in /usr/share/unity-scopes/zotero/unity_zotero_daemon.py are present (i.e. the firefox zotero plugin _and_ the stand-alone zotero application are installed).

Otherwise the python scripts stops with a FileNotFoundError because the path used for os.listdir in line 104 does not exist.
- the attached patch fixes this problem.

cheers,
  albert :-)

Hi! How do I apply the patch? And how long does it normally take from fix commited to fix released?
Thanks!

Hi Mark, thanks for the file. However, I still cannot search my Zotero library from the Dash with the .deb file you posted. Maybe it still doesn't find the library, but I don't know why. I have a Zotero Standalone installation in /opt/zotero and my user library is in ~/.zotero/zotero/dycmqsm6.default/zotero/zotero.sqlite. Any ideas on why it doesn't find anything?

Another thing, the .deb file you posted, Ubuntu tells me there is a newer version. I installed it with dpkg -i, and rebooted.

The problem persists in Ubuntu 14.04, as the dash cannot find any result from the Zotero database.
How to make the Zotero filter recognize my database. Thanks.

Hello - I'm affected by this bug on 15.04. I was also surprised that only the title was searched. I've attached the patch that I'm currently using. It includes the patch from above by albert-weichselbraun, fixes a few other potential issues with paths, and adds both the authors and abstract text to the fields searched.

I'm not what you would consider a Unity Dash super-user, but it's currently working for me and passes the 3 unit tests run by a default nosetests3 run.
