Description

I am trying to import a bibtex file containing 16 records. Whether or not I select "batch import", there is only one record that is actually imported as a node (the first record appearing in the bibtex file). For your information, I have uploaded a pdf version of the bibtex file I am trying to upload.

I've converted that pdf back into a text file and tested it on my system and I get 16 entries imported. Attached you will find the file that I used, try it and see if you get the same result.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer. It worked but... when I tried to import another file, I got the same problem. I then deleted the nodes that had been created the first time and tried to import again the file "leniency.bib_.txt" and I got the same problem: only the first record of the file is uploaded and has a node created for it.

I tried with and without "Batch Process", with smaller files, with .bib or .txt extensions, running cron on my server, flushing the caches, etc. and sometimes I get the message that "one node has been created" (see the attached file).

Hmm, very strange. Maybe something funky like running out of memory, or a file formatting issue. What hardware is your server on? Client? Anything interesting is the server logs? PHP error logs?

Nothing special. I tried again tonight: i was able to upload one file completely, but when I tried with a second file, I could upload only the first record. Strange indeed.
