“I found no citation commands while reading myFile.aux”












11















I'm trying to compile myFile.tex, a program which draws on bibtex and biber



documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}
addbibresource{myRefs.bib}
...
begin{document}
...By the Seuss theoremtextcite{firstRef}
...
section{References}
printbibliography
end{document}


Upon compiling, this gave me the following errors



I found no citation commands---while reading file myFile.aux
I found no bibdata command---while reading file myFile.aux
I found no bibstyle command---while reading file myFile.aux


I don't understand why this is happening, or what I have to do with myFile.aux. Can anyone explain this and how to get around it?

  • Hi! Please help us to help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with documentclass{...} and ending with end{document}.

    You've asked for the Biber back-end and then are running BibTeX!

    Yes, if you choose biber, you have to run biber.

As mentioned in the comments, you should run biber to compile your bib file as you have used biber as the backend.



usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}


Here are the commands to compile your myFile.tex and your .bib files:



pdflatex myFile
biber myFile
pdflatex myFile

    With recent versions of biblatex, backend=biber is the standard, so even Biber is not specified explicitly, one still has to run Biber. For help on running Biber with editors see Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations.

I have the same problem with TeXstudio, and backend=biber does not work for me. If you're using TeXstudio too, you have two options:




  1. change the default bibliography tool in TeXstudio settings (Options > Configure TeXstudio > Build > Default Bibliography Tool)



  2. add this line at the beginning of the document



    % !BIB TS-program = biber
