Error in finding path to .bib file

[bblodfon]

Hi,

I am using bookdown (0.12) for writing my thesis and I want to include the citations in an automated way using your package citr.

I have a file called references.bib which I exported from Mendeley and includes the citations. The index.Rmd file (which is on the /home/john/repos/my-phd-thesis dir) has in the yaml front mater the line: bibliography: references.bib. When I press the Rstudio addin button 'Insert Citations' I get this error:

> citr:::insert_citation()
Error in tools::file_path_as_absolute(file.path(rmd_path, yaml::yaml.load(yaml_front_matter)$bibliography)) : 
  file '/home/john/repos/my-phd-thesis/index.Rmd/references.bib' does not exist

Should be something on my part (config, etc.) or just a bug I don't know :) Let me know if you need something else from my part. The full code of the thesis is here

After updating to version 0.3.1 I run into a similar error:

> citr:::insert_citation()
Error in tools::file_path_as_absolute(file.path(rmd_path, yaml::yaml.load(yaml_front_matter)$bibliography)) : 
  'x' must be a single character string

In my index.Rmd I have multiple bibliography references:

bibliography: ["references.bib","../references.bib"]

Removing either leads to the same error as @bblodfon posted.

Seems to be a bug in the most recent version on both CRAN and GitHub. In particular with the most recent commit: de99c73#diff-4744dbfad92f5b61198585e92bc7af8d

Hi, thanks for reporting this so promptly and sorry for the delayed response. I just pushed a fix for both problems. If it resolves the issue I'll resubmit to CRAN as soon as possible. Feedback would be most welcome.

[neurotroph]

Problem seems to fixed through your last commit. Loading the citr window, adding items (also from Zotero) etc., works fine now.

[bblodfon]

Everything ok from my side as well!

[crsh]

Excellent, thank you! Will resubmit to CRAN tonight.
