Description

opened on Nov 12, 2024

JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

JabRef 6.0--2024-11-05--4705977 Linux 6.1.0-26-amd64 amd64 Java 21.0.5 JavaFX 23.0.1+4

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. I've just been using global search.

Unfortunately, I can't quite reproduce this issue, although I've had this exception a few times already. It appears to be related to when I use search, the entry list when a group is selected. Also, it seems to happen after JR has been running for a while.

    It seems to be related to a value in the file field somewhere that cannot be parsed to an URL

    That makes sense, though, I haven't seen these exceptions before. Perhaps, the URI parser is now less relaxed? Ok, I'll try to check the file fields and see whether I can find something odd.

    Alright, I can replicate this exception with the following MWE:

    @InProceedings{Test,
  author       = {Test},
  title        = {Test},
  file         = {A test:www.yahoo.com/abc/cde.htm:URL},
}

    It is derived from an entry existing in my DB, so not constructed. The repair amounts to adding a http://.

    Alternatively, you can stimulate this exception with:

    1. Edit the file field of an entry
    2. Add file link
    3. Copy the URL from the snippet into the "Link" field
    4. Choose filetype URL
    5. Press "add"

    I suppose that the exception will pop up wherever the URL parser is used. I've had some incomplete URLs in my DB files, but JR 6 now complains.
