[fastq_to_ubam] Cannot determine candidate qualities: no qualities found.

[shandu-m]

(1) I downloaded the workflow files locally with

wget https://github.com/broadinstitute/viral-pipelines/archive/v2.1.0.2.tar.gz

(2) I ran fastq_to_ubam with the provided test data:

miniwdl run ../pipeline/viral-pipelines-2.1.0.2/pipes/WDL/workflows/fastq_to_ubam.wdl \
   FastqToUBAM.fastq_1=../pipeline/viral-pipelines-2.1.0.2/test/input/in1.fastq \
   FastqToUBAM.fastq_2=../pipeline/viral-pipelines-2.1.0.2/test/input/in2.fastq \
   FastqToUBAM.sample_name=in \
   FastqToUBAM.library_name=mylib

(3) I get the following stderr file, which seems to suggest that the qualities cannot be read in properly. The same error occurs when I use a different input fastq files
stderr.txt

Ultimately this is an error from Picard rather than viral-pipelines, but I'm curious about what may be different about your input files. Would it be possible for you to post them or an excerpt?

Well I think what's weird is that she's using the same input files from the repo's test/input/ directory that our CI test already does and passes regularly on GHActions on both miniwdl and Cromwell. I mean she's using an older release than usual, but I'm pretty sure all these tests passed back then too…

I mean this exact miniwdl invocation passed with the exact same input a few days ago in GHActions. It is almost as if the fastqs got corrupted after tarring or something.

[shandu-m]

The input files are the provided ones which look like this:

@myseq/1
TCAATAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAGAAAAAAAAATTCTCCTCATTTTTGTTGT
+
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

and

@myseq/2
AATTATATTATTTCTTTGATAATTTCCTCTCCTCTTGTTTCTTTGTTTCT
+

I get the same error whether I run the script as in my post above, as well as when I run the script (from a newer version of viral-pipelines) like this:

miniwdl run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/broadinstitute/viral-pipelines/v2.1.8.0/pipes/WDL/workflows/fastq_to_ubam.wdl \
   FastqToUBAM.fastq_1=../pipeline/viral-pipelines-2.1.0.2/test/input/in1.fastq \
   FastqToUBAM.fastq_2=../pipeline/viral-pipelines-2.1.0.2/test/input/in2.fastq \
   FastqToUBAM.sample_name=in \
   FastqToUBAM.library_name=mylib

I get the same error using the fastq file attached here
fq_18.fastq.zip

Wait, Shandu are you running on a Mac? Is your Docker using "gRPC FUSE" or "legacy osxfs" for file mounts? I wonder if this is the miniwdl/docker/mac bug where all the input files look empty to everything....

I am running on a Mac and appear to be using gRPC FUSE for file sharing. Should I be using legacy osxfs?

[dpark01]

Yeah, try that (you'll need to restart your Docker environment)

chanzuckerberg/miniwdl#145 (comment)

[shandu-m]

Hmm, tried that but now I get a DockerException

docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: 500 Server Error for http+docker://localhost/version: Internal Server Error (\"b'dial unix /Users/shandu/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/docker.raw.sock: connect: connection refused'\")

Am I supposed to be explicitly running a docker container before trying to run the WDL file, or is that handled for me when I run the WDL?

[tomkinsc]

miniwdl will start (and stop) the docker containers as appropriate when working through workflow tasks. The socket refusing the connection makes me think the full docker engine process is not running. You may need to update/restart the docker engine and try again? As long as gRPC FUSE is disabled the file system mounting seems fairly reliable on macOS.

[shandu-m]

Restarted docker again, as well as updated from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1, and it works (so issue was file system mounting and/or version issue)! Thank you both for your help!
