Using TeXstudio I try to create a file with a Bibliography, created in JabRef. Instead of a properly result, I always get the Bibtexkeys shown in fat print and with no bibliography at the end.

Running biber.exe manually by the GUI before compilation somestimes works (I can try it several times after another without changing anything in between with different results.

Short working example:

\documentclass[a4paper] {article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{testbib.bib}


\begin{document}
Allia \cite{Equit2015} est \cite{Bohnsack2000} omnis


\printbibliography
\end{document}

Adding \nocite{*} does not change the result either

Using

\usepackage[
backend=biber,
style=numeric,
]{biblatex}

instead of the short Code, I used, does not change the result.

I always get the following error messages:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 20.10) The top-level auxiliary 
file: texstudio_ojuMPj.aux I found no \citation commands---while 
reading file texstudio_ojuMPj.aux I found no \bibdata command---while 
reading file texstudio_ojuMPj.aux I found no \bibstyle command---while
reading file texstudio_ojuMPj.aux (There were 3 error messages)

    Your document loads biblatex, so you need to compile it with Biber and not with BibTeX. A full compile cycle would be LaTeX, Biber, LaTeX, LaTeX. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864 for help with making your editor run Biber instead of BibTeX. – moewe Nov 15 '20 at 10:58
  • The editor = {Bohnsack, Ralf [Verfasser/in]}, in Bohnsack2000 should just be author = {Bohnsack, Ralf} and editor = {Equit, Claudia [Herausgeber/in]}, in Equit2015 should just be editor = {Equit, Claudia},. Name fields like editor should only ever contain a list of names and never additional designations such as Herausgeberin or Verfasserin. – moewe Nov 15 '20 at 11:00

    Not really relevant to your problem, but the language field should ideally contain a language key known to biblatex. In case your work is in German language = {german}, (or equivalently language = {langgerman},) is much better than language = {Deutsch},. The total page number of a book should be in the pagetotal field and not in the pages field. Hence, pages = {278 Seiten}, should be pagetotal = {278}, (and similarly for Equit2015). – moewe Nov 15 '20 at 11:03

You're running BibTeX as backend while you declare in your .tex file that you are going to use biber. Most likely this is because BibTeX is configured as your standard bibliography tool in TeXstudio. To change this to biber, go to: Option -> Configure TeXstudio -> Build. There, change the "Default Bibliography Tool" to txs:///biber. That should ensure that TeXstudio will run biber by default to compile the bibliography. If you ever switch back to using BibTeX as backend again, you need to change this back to txs:///bibtex

  • That was it! Also, after excluding the line "\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}" I got rid of another annoying error message and no everything works. Thank you! (Cannot mark you answer as "useful" due to my low reputation on this board.) – nous.calc Nov 17 '20 at 21:05
  • Glad to hear it worked. You can still "accept" an answer even if you cannot "up vote" it. – cktai Nov 17 '20 at 21:42

Another way to tell TexStudio that you want to use biber is to add the magic comment "%! BIB TS-program = biber" to your .tex file.

Example:

% !TeX TS-program = pdflatex
% !TeX encoding = UTF-8
% !TeX spellcheck = pt_BR
% !TeX root = fichamento.tex
% !BIB TS-program = biber
