[AUCTeX] BibLaTeX bibliography not recognized

[Thomas Tuegel]

Hi,

I am using AUCTeX 12.1.0 in Emacs 25.3.1 and trying to compile a simple
LaTeX document using BibLaTeX 3.7 and Biber 2.7. The document and
bibliography file follow the body of my message.

AUCTeX does not recognize that this document has a bibliography. The
bibliography is not produced when I run `TeX-command-run-all', and LaTeX
complains about missing references. If I run Biber from the
`TeX-command-master' menu, then the bibliography is produced the next
time I run LaTeX. `LaTeX-bibliography-list' returns `nil', which seems
to confirm that AUCTeX is unaware of the bibliography. Yet,
`TeX-style-hook-list' confirms that the style hook for BibLaTeX is
loaded.

What else should I do so that Biber will be run automatically?

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I didn't test it, but could you please use two distinct names for your
files, e.g. foo.tex and bar.bib, and try it again?

Best, Arash

Thanks, that does the trick! For posterity, the `.bib' file must not
have the same filename as _any_ other file in the directory, i.e.,
calling `bar.bib' from `foo.tex' will not work if there is a `bar.tex'
in the same directory.

Regards,
Thomas
