Hi John,
I am resending this... I think it did not went through the previous
time.
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-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")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below 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
