No matter how I try, I cannot get citations using apacite, biber and latex working.

Here is my preamble

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,english]{article}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{rc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric, arrows}
\tikzstyle{startstop} = [rectangle, rounded corners, minimum width=1cm, minimum height=0.5cm,text centered, draw=black, fill=white]
\tikzstyle{ref} = [rectangle, rounded corners, minimum width=1cm, minimum height=0.5cm,text centered, draw=white, fill=white]
\tikzstyle{arrow} = [thick,->,>=stealth]
\usepackage{varwidth}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\definecolor{dred}{RGB}{160, 0, 0}
\definecolor{dgreen}{RGB}{23, 93, 0}

and here is the end of the document

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{endnote4} 
\end{document}

It worked once and now it doesn't I really don't see what's wrong

I tried with both TeXShop and TeXmaker, tried running BibTeX beforehand.

Does anyone see what's wrong ? NB : it worked once NB2 : I'm using a Mac running Catalina and MacTeX

  • If you use apacite you must run BibTeX, you can not use Biber with apacite. The correct compilation order is LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX, where the first LaTeX run should finish without errors and ideally also without warnings that are unrelated to undefined citations. – moewe Jan 27 '20 at 07:39
  • It does indeed work. Thanks! Do i need to do that every time I compile? – Raphaël C Jan 27 '20 at 07:52
  • @RaphaëlC Just out of curiosity, why do you revert to BibTeX and apacite? You could use the biblatex-apa-package under BibLaTeX, which would give you APA-like citations and the flexibility and comfort of BibLaTeX and biber. – Manuel Weinkauf Jan 27 '20 at 14:24
  • Roughly you only need to run BibTeX when you change something citation- or bibliography-related about your document. So you do not always need to run the full LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX sequence if you just change a few words of text. But before you complete your document this should be the minimal build cycle you run to make sure everything resolves as expected. – moewe Jan 27 '20 at 16:56
