I can't seem to make bibliography work #1268

Open stervel opened 6 years ago

stervel commented 6 years ago

Since fresh install, using various bibliography management like NatBiB or BibLaTeX, LatexTools always give me either Undefined control sequence. [\newblock The \tex] in the log, Citation 'x' on page 1 undefined ... error, or Empty bibliography on ... error even I do cite something to make bibliography work. But it just can't, and sometimes it doesn't even render any pdf. Could you give me pointers what to do?

Consider this minimal example:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{biblatex} 
\addbibresource{example.bib} 
\begin{document} 
Test \cite{ref}. 
\printbibliography 
\end{document}

and the bib file something like this:

@article{ref,
    Author = {Bob Bib},
    Journal = {Review of Scientific},
    Number = {1},
    Pages = {4477--4479},
    Title = {Bibliography Testing},
    Volume = {72},
    Url = {http://github.com},
    Year = {2017}
}

biblatex uses biber by default, i.e. you can change it to \usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex} or add biber support, e.g. by using a different builder: C-shift-b > LaTeX - Basic Builder.

stervel commented 6 years ago

So, using [backend=bibtex]and Basic Builder works perfectly (thanks for that, people mentioned to use biber instead but I have no idea how to integrate biber with LatexTools). I have to write in Chicago, but it seems somehow I cannot make \usepackage[style=chicago-authordate,backend=biber]{biblatex} work.

It gives me the error log and I can't figure the heads and tails of it.

I changed the bib to test things like such:

    title   = "Article Doc",
    journal = "Journal",
    year    = "2017",
    volume  = "I",
    number  = "1",
    pages   = "1–99",
    month   = "jan"
}
@BOOK {book,
    author    = "Author",
    title     = "Book Doc",
    publisher = "Publisher",
    year      = "2017",
    edition   = "first"
}
@INBOOK {inbook,
    author    = "Author",
    title     = "InBook Doc",

Not sure, but it looks like you need to update you distro: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/360521/chicago-biblatex-missing-begindocument

stervel commented 6 years ago

I'm sorry, but I don't quite get on what do you mean by updating distro. I run with the latest miktex and latest latextools. Maybe it's miktex's fault? Is there some incompatibility or conflict happening?

For addendum, I tried natbib and it somewhat works but really inconsistent and unreliable. The errors like some citations don't even got formatted like the rest. I don't get how such error might happen.

ig0774 commented 6 years ago

You may need to update the packages in MiKTeX using the Package Manager. The error you provided looks like it may be caused by incompatible versions of BibLaTeX and BibLaTeX-Chicago. In any case, it’s well outside of the scope of LaTeXTools...

Also, on the biber / basic builder thing: you can run biber on MiKTeX out of the box when using the basic builder.

r-stein commented 6 years ago

LaTeXTools just calls miktex to compile the document. We may change the way we call it, but you may better ask at https://tex.stackexchange.com/ for help.
