My output looks fine. However there are the following warnings when compiling a document with references inside a table, when using TexLive. With MikTex this warnings will not occure:

There were undefined references.

Please (re)run Biber on the file: minimalexample and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

Here is a minimal example:

\documentclass[preview]{standalone}
\usepackage{luatex85,tabularx}
\usepackage[style=numeric-comp,backend=biber,sorting=none,maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}
        \centering
        \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{c}
            \cite{reference} \
        \end{tabularx}
    \end{table}
    \printbibliography
\end{document}

The appropriate bib-file is:

@article{reference,
  title={Reference Title},
  author={Name, S.},
  journal={Journal},
  volume={1},
  number={1},
  pages={1},
  year={2011},
  publisher={Publisher}
}

Is there a mistake in my code or could it be a bug?

Edit: The Biber log file is:

    I get no warning in a current texlive (I used biblatex-examples.bib and \cite{doody} for the test). But why on earth are you using the standalone class here? – Ulrike Fischer Feb 05 '21 at 22:08
  • With biblatex-examples.bib and \cite{doody} the problem remains. My texlive version is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 or LuaTeX, Version 1.07.0 (TeX Live 2019/dev/Debian). I'm sorry for using standalone. I thought, it is the best option for a minimal example. However, I'm fairly inexperienced. – Richard Feb 05 '21 at 22:14
  • oh, sorry I have a current texlive 2020. – Ulrike Fischer Feb 05 '21 at 22:17

    standalone is a very special class which forces a very non standard processing which can easily introduce issues specific to that class, so article is usually a better class for general examples. However if the bibliography is not being built you should have an error from biber, can you show the biber log you get for the above document – David Carlisle Feb 05 '21 at 22:21
  • Since I cannot reproduce the issue with an up-to-date system and the problematic system seems to be running biblatex 3.12, I think this is basically the same issue as https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/468475/35864 (minus the defernumbers=true, which just makes the issue more apparent). You could try the workaround suggested there, but maybe it is time to get a vanilla TeX live with the current updates (https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/1092/35864). – moewe Feb 06 '21 at 06:31

    Yes, this is the same underlying issue as https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/468475/35864 (just that it is less visible because you don't have defernumbers=true,): I checked that I could reproduce the behaviour with biblatex 3.12 and that the workaround suggested in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/468475/35864 or an update to biblatex 3.13 resolve the issue. – moewe Feb 06 '21 at 06:49
  • @moewe You're right and also Davids workaround works for me. May be you answer my question with that information. So I can "accept" your solution. – Richard Feb 06 '21 at 20:35
  • Would you also be OK with closing the question as a duplicate? The answer would basically be the same. – moewe Feb 06 '21 at 20:37
  • Of course it is OK for me. As far as I can see, it's not my job to vote for closing. So you're welcome to do it. – Richard Feb 06 '21 at 20:52
