Issues with folder names while importing bibtex entry

[David Coeurjolly]

After a clean reinstall of academic (pip install -U academic), I've got several issues importing a bibtex entry:

• without the --normalize the tool does not follow the bibtex tag when creating the folder. (eg. tag doigniesQMCDiffusion → folder doignies-qmc-diffusion)

• after the folder is created, the tool was able to copy the cite.bib but fails to edit the index.md

    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/....../path..../...../doignies-qmc-diffusion/index.md'
  

Have you already experimented such a thing ?

(academic version: 0.8.1)

(academic version: 0.8.1)

v0.8.1 is a very old version from 2021. Try to use the latest version (v0.9.1) and it should work successfully.

without the --normalize the tool does not follow the bibtex tag when creating the folder. (eg. tag doigniesQMCDiffusion → folder doignies-qmc-diffusion)

This is the intended design based on web best practices and Hugo's URL structures.

Thanks for the feedback. I was following the install instructions in the readme.
Should I use :

   pip install -U git+https://github.com/wowchemy/bibtex-to-markdown.git 

?

The installation is the same as any other Python package. You can use the same installation command from the GitHub README: pip3 install -U academic. For more info, refer to Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/academic/

Alternatively, you can also try an even easier installation with Pipx (pipx install academic) which will automatically install the correct Python version for you in a dedicated environment.

That is strange.. but the pip install gives me the 0.8.1. I'll try with pipx

Thanks for your help

All good with pipx... (not sure what's wrong with my pip..)

Thanks for your help
