Compiler not recognising new references after reinstalling Texmakers.

Post by BrownXforce »

I am writing my PhD thesis using latex. I am using bibtex (references.bib) for adding references and the compiler I am using is texmaker. Things were working fine. However, I recently reinstalled Texmakers and after that the referencing/bibtex isn't working. All the citations I added to the reference.bib file before reinstallation works well and I am able to see those references in the text. But, if I try to add any new reference to reference.bib file, I am only seeing (?) in the text and the compiler is not recognising the new references. I even tried to compile multiple times. Also, before reinstallations, I used some command to configure bib(La)tex and I forgot that command after reinstallations. Please find the attached screenshots for more information. Please let me know if you have any questions.

You have either not run bibtex using F11 and not configured TeXmaker to not only run PDFLaTeX + Viewer but PDFLaTeX + bibtex/biber + Viewer for Quick Build (F1):

or you have a problem at the bibtex run:

Unfortunately it seems, that TeXmaker does not provide a similar setting for users of LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX. In this case usage of latexmk could be a good idea.

If you've run bibtex please have a look at the blg file. Is the file date the date from the last build? Are there any error messages in the blg file?
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:
