I use JabRef an TexStudio. Until yesterday it worked fine, downloaded the citation from webpages (like wiley etc.) and imported it in my jabreffile. Used \cite{ref} in Text and all was good.
By today things got wierd. I exceeded 50 entries (now 53) in my JabRef and was compilig the document as usual. All worked fine, but then a strange warning came up: “Citation ‘ref’ on page xyz undefined” This happened to ALL citations I added. Including self written, downloaded an even old ones (just changed the page for testing).
I have literally no f***n clue whats wrong… Even google was like: I have no clue either.
So guy, I need your help:
Has anyone any clues whats wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Edit 1: Forgot to say: Yes, i saved the Jabref file before compiling. And funfact: If i do \cite{}, Texstudio even DOES show the entry i’d like to use and all the properties.
I guess you are using bibtex and not biblatex.
JabRef uses unicode for such things as accents or other characters. I suggest trying to do a right click on the author field -> Convert -> Unicode to Latex. This will escape the critical unicode chars in a latex compatible way
BUT: i installed TexStudio, MikTex and Jabref on my Laptop and just copy pasted all files. It works, even the bacic with the strange letters! So it seems to be a problem in some config stuff
Since your problem does not look related to JabRef, I think you should ask on a TeXstudio forum. You will get better answers because there will be more specialists.
Cheers.
I copied all corefiles (.bib, the .tex and all pictures) to my laptop and compiled with pdflatex once. It works. Jabref and Texstudio are at factory settings.
Then i resetted the settings from TexStudio at my PC. Nothing.
Then jabref. Again: nothing.
Deleted all temporal files so that just corefiles remained: nope
Edited the comipler: pdflatex, biber, pdflatex, pdflatex: narp
pdflatex, bibtex, pdflatex, pdflatex: Нет
Edited standar Bibprogram from Bibtex to biber: big nope
Copied the files back from my laptop and used them on PC with just pdflatex and bibtex as bibprogram: joke’s on you: it finally works! Dunno what was wrong, basically it was the same as copying the corefiles but hey, i won’t complain.
If this’ll ever happen again, I’m doing the workaround: typing on my PC, save, export data to Laptop and compile there… If that’s how the cookie crumbles…
I also asked in a Texstudio forum, the answer they give was “Hey, sounds like a jabref thingy, ask in a jabref forum”… XD)
