I have some issues with referencing in LyX and the classicthesis template. Ive built my .bib file with Mendeley. Referencing with the example bibliography works properly, however, when I load my own .bib file, it stops working. Citationkeys are shown instead of the proper reference. Illustration of citationkey

Ive used the pre-created bibliography button to load my .bib file in the classicthesis.lyx file, and also edited the preamble so that it loads my bib file. I also made sure the .bib file is in the same folder as all the .lyx files.

    \addbibresource{filename.bib}

Otherwise I haven't edited any settings. I have looked at other questions asked here at Stackexchange, but none specifically address this issue. Could anyone give me guidance in how to fix this?

Edit: Trying PhilipPirrip's suggestion, I still get the same result. I've copied the Bibtex log here:

  • Anything suspicious in Document>LaTeX log>Log Type BibTeX? Try adding your bib file to one of these http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/Bibliography-BibLaTeX.zip – PhilipPirrip Mar 24 '16 at 00:16
  • Normally, with LyX you have to give the full path to the .bib file (unless it resides in your local texmf tree). I think your template applies some of the tricks from the LyX wiki to get around that, but I don't know how robust those tricks are, so they might brake with weird file names. – moewe Mar 24 '16 at 12:43

I've solved this issue by examining other questsions posted on stackexchange, and randomly trying "solutions". The problem is somehow related with the length filename. I had a filename with 13 characters, and now that I've changed it to three characters, it somehow works.
