I'm having trouble with citar in org-mode. With a simple .bib file, org-cite-insert works fine without citar, but whenever I set (org-cite-insert-processor 'citar), like explained here https://github.com/emacs-citar/citar?tab=readme-ov-file#org-cite , then org-cite-insert just says Aborted. I tried to debug using debug-on-entry for the function org-cite-insert, but that is just endless sequence of commands.

  • org - v9.6.15
  • citar - v20240419.2232
  • emacs v29.4

tried both on mac and ubuntu with the same result.

How could I continue, like get proper backtrace instead of message "Aborted"?

Update: trying with edebug (edebug-defun), it gets to the choice in minibuffer, which shows References: (0/1):, but there no matter if I try TAB, Enter or something else, it just gets aborted.

    You might find edebug easier to use in this case. Commented Aug 24, 2024 at 14:21
  • @NickD Thanks, got edebug working better, but I end up in minibuffer, where debugger does not seem to work any more? Edited question description. Commented Aug 24, 2024 at 20:45
  • Try instrumenting the function org-cite-make-insert-processor for edebug. It is the only function I can see which raises a user error with an Aborted message. I have no idea how any of this works however, so this is just a guess. Commented Aug 25, 2024 at 5:53
  • @NickD thanks, that gets me a little further. (funcall select-key t) seems to return no values, and this is the same behaviour, that I get when calling citar-open directly, which is minibuffer with message References: (0/85):, but the error with citar-open is No associated resources instead of Aborted. It is confusing still, because the 0/85 clearly shows that the correct bib file is being accessed. Commented Aug 25, 2024 at 10:27
