[Tex/LaTex] When bibtex does not find bibdata inside aux file, with code

bibliographiesbibtex

I am receiving the following error message

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2014)
The top-level auxiliary file: thesis.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file thesis.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file thesis.aux
(There were 2 error messages)

I am wonderinf why that could be. I am using

\usepackage[sort]{natbib}

for my bibliography and the following commands to create it

\bibliographystyle{ecta}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{\hspace*{\labelwidth}}
\apptocmd{\NAT@thebibliography}{\setlength\itemindent{-14pt}}{}{}
\makeatother

\bibliography{/Users/myname/Dropbox/Bibliography/bibo}

and the strange thing is that it had been working a few hrs. ago. I am not sure what changed.

Does someone know what could the problem?

Thank you very much!

Presumably latex never reached

\bibliography{/Users/myname/Dropbox/Bibliography/bibo}

a misplaced \end{document} for example would do that.

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}
  @online{cim-wiki,
    author = {Wikipedia},
    title = {Common Information Model (electricity)},
    urldate = {2016-04-11},
    url =    {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Information_Model_(electricity)},
  }
\end{filecontents*}


\bibliography{rapport}

\begin{document}

   \chapter{Bibliographie}

\cite{cim-wiki}

   \printbibliography
   \end{document}

 \begin{document}

\lipsum[1] \cite{wang_model_2009}

\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
