I'm tring to use biblatex with biber (Miktex 2.9 32bit on Win7 64bit), but I can't get it to work:
Here is my MWE:
\listfiles % shows used packages in a list in log file
\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{author2000,
author = {AuthorA},
title = {Title of Article},
journal = {Name of Journal},
year = {2000},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{author2000}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
saved as test.tex
then I run:
pdflatex test
biber test
pdflatex test
pdflatex test
and I get after the last run:
LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.
Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run Biber on the file:
(biblatex) test
(biblatex) and rerun LaTeX afterwards.
)
I did clear the cache (par-* direcory).
It does work when I run bibtex instead of biber.
the log file after the 3rd run:
