Problems creating my bibliography

Question

I am provided a template and now I want to print my bibliography. The template comes with a LaTeX-class file, which contains the entry: \usepackage[backend=biber,citestyle=ieee,sorting=none,dateabbrev=false,urldate=comp]{biblatex}

In the .tex file after some specifications such as \documentclass{myTemplte}, there is the entry \addbibresource{./library.bib}. Now, here is how I try to create one quotation:

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
    \centering
    \def\svgwidth{\linewidth}
    \import{pic/}{someFigure.pdf_tex}
    \caption{Description, source: \cite{2018}.}
    \label{Figure}
\end{figure}

\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]

Now, instead of a nice [1], the bibtexkey 2018 appears and the bibliography doesn't get printed at all. Can anyone think of a reason for this? Or is this question stupid to ask, because it cannot be recreated?

By the way, I am using JabRef to create my entries in my .bib file. For this particular source, I am using:

@Online{2018,
  title = {Open Clip Art},
  date  = {2018-07-12},
  url   = {https://openclipart.org/},
}

When I run the "Bibliography" command (F8), these three errors occur:

I found no \citation commands---while reading file Report-Template.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file Report-Template.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file Report-Template.aux

You are mixing bibtex and biblatex code. Please see this answer about very basic concepts about bibliography in LateX. — Fran, Jul 12 '18 at 17:23
You (most likely) need to run biber in between runs of pdflatex, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63852/question-mark-or-bold-citation-key-instead-of-citation-number for a description of how this works. (If you pass backend=bibtex as an option to biblatex then you need to run bibtex not biber.) — Torbjørn T., Jul 12 '18 at 21:49
The template will have a \useapackage[<some options here>]{biblatex} call somewhere. You need to replace the option style= or the options citestyle/bibstyle with style=ieee. Note that this will give a bibliography emulating IEEE style, it will not give you a bibliography you can use to submit to the IEEE. For submissions you should use the official IEEEE templates, which use .bst styles and not biblatex. You can read up about the difference between biblatex and BibTeX bibliographies at https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/25701/35864 — moewe, Jul 13 '18 at 08:28
For full IEEE style you want style=IEEE instead of only citestyle=ieee. Other than that you need to run Biber, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63852/ and https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864 — moewe, Jul 13 '18 at 09:01
ok,thx for your answers! I'm gonna read up on the difference between bibtex and biblatex then. — Luk, Jul 13 '18 at 09:03
Your last edit confirms you are running BibTeX, but you should be running Biber instead. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864. — moewe, Jul 13 '18 at 09:31
