JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

JabRef 5.8--2022-12-18--b7fae4b and JabRef 6.0--2023-01-05--89890e5, Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Checked with the latest development build

  • 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. Set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install). I am using WSL2 1.0.3.0 with Ubuntu 22.04.
  2. Open JabRef in Windows.
  3. Create a new library.
  4. Save the library to a WSL path (e.g., \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\myuser\test.bib).

Appendix

  • An empty file "test.bib.tmp" is created in the same folder (even with added library entries).
  • The error did not occur with JabRef 5.7.
  • The path is accessible, I can save to the same path from Windows Notepad.

Hi, thanks for reporting. This is related to the save improvements, and it seems like file locks are not supported on WSL: microsoft/WSL#5762

You might try some workarounds microsoft/WSL#4309 (comment)

Unfortunately, there is nothing from our side we can do to solve this error.

Thank you for the prompt reply, that is unfortunate. I will stay on JabRef 5.7 then or run JabRef within WSL.

@DominikStiller We recently had a similar issue with saving on Samoa shares on macOS and added workaround. Can you please test the latest version 5.11?
