Export of Notes to LaTeX

[JAC28]

Hi,
when exporting a note with citations to LaTeX the citations are not resolved correctly in the generated *.tex files but empty \cite{ } commands. Is this a bug or a problem in my configuration for Better Notes and Better BibTex?

@wly2014 Please see if there's anything we can do, thank you

@JAC28 You can first check if the Citation Key of the document exists. If it does, then it should not be an issue with Better BibTeX.
Could you provide a minimal reproducible example? such as the relevant literature and its citation, so that I can locate the problem.

I think I might have found the reason. When exporting a note from a group library the \cite{} command is empty, when exporting from the private/ local library it works as intended. Both times, the referenced item was identical and has a citation key (at least displayed). An analysis of the exported notes reveal, that the private note links to
"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/11223344/items/K8VFDU3B"] while the group note links to "uris":["http://zotero.org/groups/55667788/items/2MNZ94CT"]. If I understand the code correctly, the exporter tries to retrieve the itemID just from the user library, which fails in the later case:

zotero-better-notes/src/utils/convert.ts

Lines 1049 to 1056 in a555f05

	const item_ = Zotero.Items.getByLibraryAndKey(
	Zotero.Libraries.userLibraryID,
	key,
	);
	if (!item_) {
	Zotero.debug("[Bid Export] Item not found, key = " + key);
	continue;
	}

At least this line seems to be responsible, as exporting with debugging active, gives the error message [Bid Export] Item not found, key = 2MNZ94CT.

If my analysis is correct, should I open an issue for this problem?
