bibtex not running automatically

[Daniel Krenn]

In our course we create a LaTeX document, but it seems that bibtex is
not running. To be precise, when I work on a .tex (and have created a
.bib already), then an output of the tex is generated, but it does not
run bibtex to get the citations.
How to enable automatically running this? How to enforce this (except
using command line) manually?

Quick answer before somebody looks into this further:

- If you click on Build, there is a "Bibtex" button -- click it to
run bibtex.

- You can always modify the build command line to run anything you
want, e.g., change

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interact=nonstopmode 'file.tex'

to

pdflatex -sy[omitted...] ...file.tex' ; bibtex file # or whatever

All that said, bibtex should run if it is needed, as determined by
output messages in the log -- maybe that is now broken by some change
in tex, or something special in your file.

Can you send us a link to your .tex file to he...@sagemath.com please?
Then we can have a look.

Besides that, on the right on top of the preview, is a build button.
When you click there, you can run bibtex directly or customize the
build command. I usually set this to be based on latexmk, e.g.

latexmk -xelatex -pdf -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode '[INSERT
FILENAME.tex]>'

(press return after typing in the command, it will be recorded at the
very bottom of the .tex file)

Didn't see this before, thank you for the hint.

This is exactly the default, thus bibtex is not running automatically.

The tex-file is quite a simple MWE...

Link to tex-file sent to help@...

Ok, it is clear now how to customize this.

It should still run, since in addition to that build line, there is
some other stuff that gets run based on the output of pdflatex (e.g.,
running sage, bibtex, etc.). There may be a bug.

And just to say how awesome SMC is, you can put code to do *absolutely
anything* you want here as part of the build cycle....

[Harald Schilly]

I tried clicking "bibtex", but it still wasn't working. I'm betting,
that the heuristic is broken and the one from latexmk is much better
^^
