Undefined citation Using LaTex Workshop in VSCode

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Damon C. Roberts on June 21, 2021

I am new to using LaTeX in visual studio code and am having issues with my .bib file while using the LaTeX workshop extension. Everything else works, it just isn’t reading my .bib file for some reason.

I am using the apacite package. I am using both usepackage{apacite} and am using the bibliographystyle{apacite} command correctly. Also I have set my bibliography to be within the same folder as my tex package and call it with bibliography{bib-file-name}.

Here is info from the compiler:

One Answer

I was stuck on the very same issue until I realised I need to use the pdflatex > bibtex > pdflatex x2 recipe in the TEX tab.

I hope this helps!
