Hi,
Some weeks ago I started using biblatex and biber for the creation of my bibliography in my PhD. Initially my tests for this were on a test file, just to get a feel for the citation and bibliography styles.
Now I've applied it to my first actual thesis chapter and I've found that it no longer works.
I even went back to the original test file and found it no longer works either.
TeXshop reports the following;
Latexmk: Failed to find one or more biber source files:
NONE
Is the problem it cannot find the .bib file? kpsewhich reports
$ kpsewhich phd.bib
/Users/smcphee/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/phd.bib
In the .BCF file which is generated, there is a 'bibdata' section;
<bcf:bibdata section="0">
<bcf:datasource type="file" datatype="bibtex">phd.bib</bcf:datasource>
</bcf:bibdata>
and a collection of the citekeys appears after that.
In my header/preamble there is this
\usepackage[backend=biber,sorting=nyt,citestyle=authoryear-comp,bibstyle=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{phd.bib}
There is no complaint that phd.bib can't be found in the TexShop console, but if I trash all the aux files and recompile it complains that every single citation is undefined, and that the "bbl" file is missing.
What is going on, or how do I narrow the source of the problem down?
many thanks
scot
