Error code [12] ==> Undefined control sequence \IfUsePrefixLine

[patrickwelker]

I'm not a LaTeX pro and I don't know if this is a latexmk issue or what it is, but I just wanted to let you know about this.

I have put a minimal working example on Overleaf.

The file compiles fine with Overleaf or when I use pdflatex + biber:

pdflatex "$1"; biber "$1"; pdflatex "$1"; pdflatex "$1"

With LaTeX-Plus I get one error which prevents the file from being compiled.

Console Log:

Compilation failed with return code [12]!

1 Error(s), 9 Warning(s), 0 FSC, and 1 BadBox(es).

[Error(s)]
E: mwe-working.tex:80    Undefined control sequence \IfUsePrefixLine.

[Done in 2.43s!]

PS: Don't mind the citation warnings… when not using a listfiles bibliography everything is fine there.

I have no problem in compiling your example. I guess it is due to a missing/outdated package. I suggest your update all your packages to see if it solves the problem.

Thanks for the pointer @randy3k. It's good to know that it works on your side. I'll figure it out.

UPDATE: The culprit was Koma-Script v3.17. I switched to the latest beta (v3.19a) and everything works as expected.
