bibliographiesbibtex
I'm really new to BibTex, I just wonder what is going wrong when I have this kind of error when I try to compile my bibliography file.
I found no \citation commands---while reading file masterthesis.aux
I have put this \bibliographystyle{plain} and bibliography{masterthesis} somewhere in my document, but I don't know what to do here…
Here is a more minimal AND working example, using biber not bibtex
Note that biber complains about the format of the date, so you'll need to look that up in the biblatex manual.
You probably mean urldate not date, and then the syntax is YYYY-MM-DD, so
urldate = {2016-04-11},
in this case.
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{rapport.bib}

urldate = {2016-04-11},

}
\end{filecontents*}

As explained on the second page of the BIBTeX manual the new command
\nocite{*}allows, since version 0.99b, toThis is useful since BIBTeX, by default, do not consider uncited entries of the database. This behaviour can look strange but is the right way to proceed: if you don't cite anything, it means that you haven't used any information from the entries in the database in your document! So the best way to proceed is to find a place to cite every entry.
