Please re(run) biber

Question

I think I've read all posts concerning this issue and a solution might have been provided but I don't understand it.

Here is the full story.

I export my bibliography file from Zotero (I tried everything BibTex, BibLaTex, UTF-8 and Western, all possible combinations).

I work in Texniccenter editor.

I would like to use biblatex (the example is not full, it's a thesis normally, so too long).

Here is my code:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibli}
\title{YYY}
\author{\textsc{ZZZ}}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Introduction}
\mainmatter
\part{State of the art}
\chapter{blabla}
L'intérêt pour l'activité d'abattage a été étudié à plusieurs reprises en sciences sociales. Toutefois, la condition animale en elle-même y est très peu abordée, sans doute parce que les acteurs de terrain eux-mêmes la considère comme un non-sujet \cite{muller_a_2008}.
\printbibliography
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliographie}
\end{document}

Here is a part of my bibliography file:

@book{muller_a_2008,
    address = {Paris; Versailles},
    title = {{\'A} l'abattoir: travail et relations professionnelles face au risque sanitaire},
    isbn = {978-2-7351-1170-1 978-2-7592-0051-1},
    shorttitle = {{\'A} l'abattoir},
    language = {French},
    publisher = {{\'E}ditions de la Maison des sciences de l'homme ; {\'E}ditions Quae},
    author = {Muller, S{\'e}verin},
    year = {2008},
    note = {OCLC: 262718567}
}

Probably the answer is simple, but I am quite new, and yes, I really read a lot of documentation, without finding anything useful.

I also tried to change the settings of output profile (use biber instead of bibtex) but it did not work.

Problem might come from Zotero? If so how to know where cause my file is super long?...

Answer 1

The Biber error message is clear: ERROR - Cannot find 'bibli'!

Use \addbibresource{bibli.bib} (with the .bib extension) instead of \addbibresource{bibli}.
