I am working on a document and my citations have stoped working. It worked fine before but after a recent build citations stopped showing properly, with only IDs being displayed in the footnotes.

I usually work in atom with the latex plug in but for the sake of finding the problem I am running everything in the console. I tried to brake down everything into a more simple example but it is still not working.

Test.tex

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{scrartcl}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\usepackage[autocite=footnote]{biblatex} \addbibresource{References.bib}

\begin{document} Sample text I want to cite.\autocite[Vgl.][23]{Sandhaus2014} \printbibliography \end{document}

References.bib

@Book{Sandhaus2014,
author="Sandhaus, Gregor
and Berg, Bj{\"o}rn
and Knott, Philip",
Title="Hybride Softwareentwicklung: Das Beste aus klassischen und agilen Methoden in einem Modell vereint",
year="2014",
address="Berlin, Heidelberg",
Edition={7., aktualisierte Auflage}
}

I delete the auxiliary files and run in the console:

pdflatex test -> biber test -> pdflatex test -> pdflatex test

But I am constantly getting

Citation "..." on page 1 undefined There were undefined references

errors.

I am confused since everything was working as expected. The problem first occurred after adding a addition reference and rebuilding the file. Even after removing the added reference I did not work as before. I am looking for advice on how to solve this issue.

  • Welcome to tex.sx. When you are processing from the command line, the bibliography must be processed separately. (When using a front end or editor, this is often done automatically.) This question explains the process: biblatex in a nutshell – barbara beeton Mar 10 '21 at 15:16
  • Your MWE works for me with pdflatex->bibtex->pdflatex->pdflatex – Elad Den Mar 10 '21 at 15:20
  • Running pdflatex->bibtex->pdflatex->pdflatex gives me the following error: I found no \citation commands---while reading file test.aux I found no \bibdata command---while reading file test.aux I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file test.aux

    Upon researching that one I found lots of answers instructing to use Biber instead of bibtex so now I am confused.

  • My bad, my IDE used biber automatically. so it was pdflatex->biber->pdflatex->pdflatex. On the first pdflatex you get a warning of undefined reference (and on the second). On the last pdflatex all warnings disappear and you get a pdf with the reference... – Elad Den Mar 10 '21 at 15:37
  • That is the behaviour I was expecting but I still get the same error after the last run. The log file I added is taken after the last run of pdflatex. If it is indeed working for you but not for me on the same files what could I do to further diagnose the problem on my end? – John Bauer Mar 10 '21 at 15:38
  • The example works fine for me. If you did indeed run Biber, you should find its log file (the.blg file) in the same folder as your main .tex file and its .log file. Open it and paste it here. – moewe Mar 10 '21 at 16:27
  • Interesting. I seem to have resolved the problem and I think biber was to blame. I cleared the biber cache. I did not work the first time but after clearing it again it was back to working for me as well. The problem reappeared though and I had to clear the cache again to resolve it. – John Bauer Mar 11 '21 at 13:57
