I'm writng an article but natbib does not recognize my citations.

I have followed this process for the compilation :

  1. pdfLatex
  2. Bibtex
  3. pdfLatex
  4. pdfLatex

Also, I have tried to remove the .aux and .bbl files, but I have observed no change.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}


\begin{document}
the text beginning \citep{Benezit2013}  the end of the text

\bibliography{bibliov2}
\end{document}

And, I think my file.bib is correct: 

@phdthesis{Benezit2013,
  author = {Benezit, M},
  pages={76},
  school={Ecole d'Agronomie Superieure Montpellier},
  title={{Diagnostic agronomique des facteurs limitants du rendement du  pois protagineux d'hiver et de printemps en Champagne Berrichonne}},
  type={Master's thesis},
  year={2013}
}

this is an extract of my file.log

  No file testv4.bbl.
  Package natbib Warning: There were undefined citations.

  • What does the .blg file say? – Joseph Wright Apr 25 '16 at 16:36
  • Can you be a bit more precise on how exactly things don't work for you? You might want to check the .blg and .log files (the .blg being more interesting probably). See also Question mark instead of citation number. On first glance your code seems fine, so the problem is likely somewhere else. Is your .bib file called bibliov2.bib and resides in the same directory as your .tex file? – moewe Apr 25 '16 at 16:37
  • I make a mistake when i was writing the post, but any .blg file are generate in the case of this script – lou Apr 25 '16 at 16:42
  • thanks for your answer the bib and tex file are in the same directory, – lou Apr 25 '16 at 16:48
  • Sorry, are you saying there is no .blg file? If you don't get any you either didn't run BibTeX or something went seriously wrong when you tried to. – moewe Apr 25 '16 at 16:50
  • yes, you can see on the file. extract about the file.blg – lou Apr 25 '16 at 17:11

    @lou -- you say in your question that the excerpt you show is from the file.log (i assume that's testv4.log). the .log file is not the same as the .blg file. the .blg file is the log from the bibtex run, and it looks quite different from what you show. look again for that file, and it should tell you what the problem is. – barbara beeton Apr 25 '16 at 18:00
  • okay i understand. i have used the same bibtex for 2 differents tex files. for just one, there is a .blg file. The problem come from the bibtex. natbib did not recognize a { . I have just remove and replace it , and all have worked. May be, this error come from the export from Mendeley. thank to everyone for your quick message – lou Apr 26 '16 at 07:13
