jabref: emacsclient doesn't work with emacs daemon active

JabRef version

5.9 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Debian Sid Gnome (but perhaps also on Bookworm)

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. Open a TeX file with Emacs
  2. Open JabRef
  3. Select a bibitem and click on the send to Emacs button
  4. Nothing appens on Emacs

Appendix

This issue is related with /usr/lib/systemd/user/emacs.service active, wich conflicts with (server-start) active on ~/.emacs.d/init.el.

On my part, I could alternatively:

  1. disable /usr/lib/systemd/user/emacs.service with systemctl
  2. kill emacs.service and start the server whenever I need it

Some link on emacs:

But, my quaestion is: is it possible to adapt JabRef to communicate with the daemon instead of emacsclient?

I’m sorry for the difficult question, perhaps not solvable, and thank you very much in advance. Domenico
