I'm using biblatex to print my bibliography at the end of my thesis but unfortunately nothing is printed at the end (not even a blank page).

Here's an example of what I'm using: 

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[a4paper, width=150mm, top=25mm, bottom=25mm, bindingoffset=6mm]{geometry}

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

\begin{document}
I'm goint to cite the first reference with \cite{einstein}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Here's what my .bib file looks like: 

@article{einstein,
    author =       "Albert Einstein",
    title =        "{Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter K{\"o}rper}. ({German})
    [{On} the electrodynamics of moving bodies]",
    journal =      "Annalen der Physik",
    volume =       "322",
    number =       "10",
    pages =        "891--921",
    year =         "1905",
    DOI =          "http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/andp.19053221004",
    keywords =     "physics"
}

@book{dirac,
    title={The Principles of Quantum Mechanics},
    author={Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac},
    isbn={9780198520115},
    series={International series of monographs on physics},
    year={1981},
    publisher={Clarendon Press},
    keywords = {physics}
}

EDIT: enter image description here

What might be the problem?

    What is the relative location of the file references.bib to the main .tex file? do you compile using bibtex command ? – Cfun Jul 07 '16 at 12:33

    Did you call biber? What does the .blg-file say? – Ulrike Fischer Jul 07 '16 at 12:34

    Did you run the usual cycle: pdflatex -> biber -> pdflatex (twice)? – Bernard Jul 07 '16 at 12:34
  • Works well in Overleaf so I guess you have a filename/path error. Or the building cycle is missing some steps. – Paapaa Jul 07 '16 at 12:36
  • I'm using Texmaker. How do I run biber, please? – Gunelle Jul 07 '16 at 13:19

    Please have a look at Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations for help on how to set up Biber in your favourite editor. You might also want to have a look at Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number for a bit of background. – moewe Jul 07 '16 at 13:57
  • So I ran biber several times and all but it still gives nothing. It says "Empty bibliography" in a warning message. @UlrikeFischer – Gunelle Jul 07 '16 at 14:34
  • Could you also answer my second question? – Ulrike Fischer Jul 07 '16 at 14:39
  • I have added an image in my post. @UlrikeFischer – Gunelle Jul 07 '16 at 14:48
  • If your editor is set up to run Biber correctly, you should be able to find a .blg file (the log file Biber writes). Just paste its contents to your question. – moewe Jul 07 '16 at 14:50
  • No, you are showing only the output of your editor regarding the log-file. I asked about the .blb file. – Ulrike Fischer Jul 07 '16 at 14:52
  • Oh right, sorry. In a minute... – Gunelle Jul 07 '16 at 14:53
  • This is BibTeX, Version 0.99dThe top-level auxiliary file: final.aux I found no \citation commands---while reading file final.aux I found no \bibdata command---while reading file final.aux I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file final.aux (There were 3 error messages) @UlrikeFischer – Gunelle Jul 07 '16 at 14:57

    That definitely shows that you run BibTeX and not Biber. Please check out the two links I posted above for help on how to run Biber. – moewe Jul 07 '16 at 14:59

  • Here above is what I get. @moewe – Gunelle Jul 07 '16 at 15:11
  • Well, now that shows that your versions of biblatex and Biber are out of sync. You need to do an update. Since you are running MikTeX you will have to run the Updater in Admin and in User mode (you may have to run both of the updaters twice). See also How should one maintain and update a MiKTeX installation? – moewe Jul 07 '16 at 15:15

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it was solved by an updating and running Biber. (The OP's self answer seems to address an unrelated issue...) – moewe Jul 22 '16 at 07:44

Problem solved! All I had to do was cite each reference at least once and they appear in the bibliography section. Thanks everyone!
