I'm trying to make the code of the following post work: How to make a bib entry appear also in the main document but I get some thing that I don't expect:

enter image description here

I'm using the default TeXShop command: pdflatex --file-line-error --synctex=1. I also tried to run bibtex, but I get the following message:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2012)
The top-level auxiliary file: test.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file test.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file test.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file test.aux
(There were 3 error messages)

EDIT

This is the code:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{auth1:2000,
title = {A book},
author = {A. Thor},
date = {2000},
publisher = {Some Company},
location = {A City}
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[backend=biber,]{biblatex}
\bibliography{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

\fullcite{auth1:2000}
\cite{auth1:2000}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

which is clearly wrong as I'm citing in the test. What's wrong?

  • The same problem is also discussed here [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/135930/use-bibentry-with-biblatex] and here [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/126226/how-do-i-instruct-fullcite-to-use-maxbibnames-rather-than-maxcitenames]. Note that the answer provided there is actually more accurate than the one provided here (so far). – Prof.Chaos Jun 19 '17 at 12:05

As written in the comments the default backend of biblatex2 and higher is biber. To use the traditional backend bibtex you have to specify this as an option:

\usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}

If you are using the backend biber you need to run biber instead of bibtex. Your code is working fine for me when I run pdflatex, then biber, and then pdflatex again:

If I don't run biber after pdflatex I get the same output as you.

Just in case biber was not set up: This guide is incredibly helpful (includes guides for many editors, among which also TexShop).
