Re: No valid bibliography in this document

[Hoffmann, Jobst]

Forgot cc. auctex


Hi Arash, 

I found a special problem: I took your example as tst_02.tex and I got 
upon C-x C-e

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "\\bibliography statement missing
or .bib files not found")
  signal(error ("\\bibliography statement missing or .bib files not
found"))
  error("\\bibliography statement missing or .bib files not found")
  reftex-get-bibfile-list()
  eval((reftex-get-bibfile-list) nil)
  elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-last-sexp)

Then I copied tst_02.tex to tst_04.tex and I got upon C-x C-e :

("/home/ax006ho/TeX/tests/biblatex/biblatex-examples_short.bib")

I can reproduce the behaviour any time.

I attach both files - diff showed no difference -, do you see any
difference?

I don't have clue what's going on here. 

Did I get you right, that these are the only lines I need in my .emacs:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)
(setq reftex-bibliography-commands '("bibliography"
                                     "nobibliography"
                                     "addbibresource"))
