Fasta assembly not recognized #1

Closed alexvasilikop closed 1 year ago

Hello,

Thanks for developing such useful tools.

For some reason my assembly file is not recognized:

python3 hairsplitter.py -i $assembly -f $reads -x ont -t 12 -o $outdir

    ******************

ERROR: Assembly file must be in GFA or FASTA format. File extension not recognized.

I have tried with both .fasta and .fa extensions. Any idea what the issue is? I am using 

HairSplitter v1.3.0 (RolandFaure/HairSplitter). Last update: 2023-07-20

Thanks Alex

Ok apparently the issue was that it most likely expects a .gfa file. When I renamed the fasta file to have a .gfa extension then it worked. Perhaps something to improve in the future.

cheers

Hi Alex, This was a bug occuring when handling the fasta files. Thank you very much for bringing it up, the bug has been corrected in the new version 1.3.1. If you ever need to convert fasta to gfa, do not simply change the name of the file, this will confuse HairSplitter. Actually transform the fasta into GFA (with 'S' lines only).

Do not hesitate if you have other issues :smiley:
