After the upgrade to the latest helm-bibtex (v 2.0.0), M-x Helm-bibtex fails on a valid .bib file with the following error:

In 'BibTeX entries' source: 'bibtex-completion-candidates'
(wrong-type-argument lisp "article")

I am using Emacs 29.4 on Mac OS X 15.3.1, and LaTeX and BibTeX succeed using the .bib file with no errors or warnings. Also Emacs bibtex-validate does not show any errors in the .bib file.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Can you isolate the entry that causes the problem and post it here? That might be helpful in solving the issue.

Interestingly any @Article entry causes the issue. I deleted everything from the bib file except the following entry, and got the same error above.

@article{10.1145/129888.129894,
  author =	 {DeWitt, David and Gray, Jim},
  title  =	  {Parallel  Database  Systems: The  Future  of  High

@tmalsburg I thought that perhaps this is a parsebib.el issue, but this particular entry parses just fine, so there's something else going on, it seems.

I upgraded to both Emacs to 30.1 and Mac OSX to 15.3.2 and the issue still remains.

I don't know how to replicate this problem. In my setup, the entry above parses just fine. We also haven't changed anything in the last couple of months. Last commit was in November.

@abetaha, could you please provide a minimal reproducible example for emacs -Q? Thank you.
