Bibtex stability test is sometimes wrong

Open aclements opened this issue 11 years ago • 0 comments

BibTeX.stable is wrong in some situations. Create a tex file with \bibliography, but no \citations. This will run latex and bibtex and bibtex will fail with "no \citation commands". Then remove \bibliography commands. This will run latex, decide that bibtex is stable, and then replay the error from the previous bibtex run. Stable means both that it will have no effect on system state AND that its results will be the same as the previous run. Maybe the tests that are currently in BibTeX.stable tests all need to go in BibTeX._execute?
