I'm running Mac OS 10.13.1 (High Sierra) and Texshop Version 3.89. I opened Texshop for the first time in about 4 months today, and started to work on a document. I use Zotero to generate my BibTex file, also as usual. But I keep getting the following error:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2015)
The top-level auxiliary file: My_Paper.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file My_Paper.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file My_Paper.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file My_Paper.aux
(There were 3 error messages)
I thought I was doing something wrong because I was rusty, so I went back to a paper I wrote 2 years ago that definitely worked. There, I saved the .tex, .cls, .bib, and .pdf files, but when I ran the .tex file, I got the same error.
Is this a problem with TexShop under High Sierra, or is there something else I have to update to get these old papers to run?
As a minimum working example, this .tex file works in Overleaf, but gives me the error above in Texshop:
\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[notes,backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}
\bibliography{paperbib}
\begin{document}
\title{Academic Paper:\protect\\With a Subtitle}
\author{Joan Q. Public}
\maketitle
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah Einstein's Theory\autocite{einstein} which predicted blah.
The New York Times\footcite{nyt} reported blah blah.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Thanks in advance for any insight!
biblatexyou need to tell TeXShop to process the bibliography withbibernotbibtex(which is the default). Try adding% !BIB TS-program = biberto the top of your file and recompiling the bibliography or use thepdflatexmkengine. Also you're running quite an old version of MacTeX (2015); you might want to update to MacTeX 2017. – Alan Munn Nov 14 '17 at 06:11This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2017)– Elizabeth S. Nov 15 '17 at 15:29% !BIB TS-program = biberto the top of my.texfile worked! Thank you! Do I have to do that to every file from now on, or is there a way I can adjust TeXshop to handle it for me? – Elizabeth S. Nov 15 '17 at 15:56bibtex, and that's what the TeXshop Preferences are set for. What's weird is that.texand.bibfiles that worked before suddenly don't work. What changed? – Elizabeth S. Nov 15 '17 at 15:57bibtex/biberissue, since.texfiles that used to run perfectly suddenly stopped running when I updated TeXshop. – Elizabeth S. Nov 15 '17 at 19:39
