It has happened twice to me so far. I have two editors: Tex Shop and Tex Studio. If I write something in Tex Studio and compile it successfully and then open the same files (the .tex and the .bib) in Tex Shop (or vice versa), the bibliography just won't compile. Re-compiling the bib does not work, recompiling the .tex won't work either. And once the compiled-without-bib version is opened in a different editor, the bib won't compile in the original editor ever again.
Is there a reason for this? How can I get my bibliography compiled again? Is this because of the .aux file?
I was using both of the editors because I like how TeX Studio auto-fills commands and citations but the raw file is more readable in TeX Shop.
Please help. It's my thesis.

Hi,
welcome to the forum!
The code itself should not be an issue. Also the .aux file, as it's generated by the same LaTeX compiler, independent of the editor.

- actually, check that both editors run the same LaTeX engine (pdfLaTeX or XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX), same options to it
- verify that the text encoding of both editors is the same (UTF-8 is recommended)
