Hi John, I think I can replicate the org-ref bug now (if it is a bug). This is the situation:
a) If I open emacs, load a file that already has some link, and click on the link (or place the cursor on it and press enter) I get the "no key found" message and I cannot open the notes file (I get a "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"), although the link to the pdf file works. If I open more than one file, links do not work in any of them. At this point if I check the value of the "org-ref-default-bibliography" variable, I get the correct path and filename of my .bib file. b) If I insert a new citation (using Ctrl-]) in any of the documents, links work as they should in all documents (this is, I get the title and I can open the notes file). I should say that I am not using the org-ref-insert-bibliography-link function, because I use biblatex and I prefer to insert the Latex \printbibliography command. But if use it and insert the bibliography link, the behaviour does not change. This is what I have in my .emacs file that is related to RefTex and org-ref: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; Load RefTex (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode (autoload 'reftex-mode "reftex" "RefTeX Minor Mode" t) (autoload 'turn-on-reftex "reftex" "RefTeX Minor Mode" nil) (autoload 'reftex-citation "reftex-cite" "Make citation" nil) (autoload 'reftex-index-phrase-mode "reftex-index" "Phrase mode" t) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with Emacs latex mode ;; Make RefTeX faster (setq reftex-enable-partial-scans t) (setq reftex-save-parse-info t) (setq reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers t) (setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t) (setq reftex-default-bibliography '("/home/julian/Documents/Refs/BibTex/references.bib")) (setq reftex-sort-bibtex-matches "author") ; Sort entries found in BibTex database (setq bibtex-dialect "biblatex") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (require 'org-ref) (setq org-ref-bibliography-notes "/home/julian/Documents/org files/notes.org" org-ref-default-bibliography '("/home/julian/Documents/Refs/BibTex/references.bib") org-ref-pdf-directory "/home/julian/Documents/Refs/") (setq org-ref-default-citation-link "parencite") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am sending you very simple .org and .bib files that (in my computer) reproduce this behaviour. In this file I did use org-ref-insert-bibliography-link. Let me know if I can give you any other information. All the best, Julian
