Unauthorized Tower access

[PedroRaposo]

Hello,

After I set up my TOWER_ACCESS_TOKEN and NXF_VER variables according to the instructions, I run the code:

nextflow run hello -with-tower

And I got the following error:

Unauthorized Tower access -- Make sure you have specified the correct access token

I confirm that I created a token (here: https://tower.nf/tokens) and I set up correctly on the TOWER_ACCESS_TOKEN variable.

I was wondering what could be the problem. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @PedroRaposo,

Thanks for highlighting this to us.

Just to confirm one tiny thing, after you completed the setup instructions - you reloaded the terminal session via exec $SHELL or source ~/.bashrc right?

[PedroRaposo]

I did not. Once I set the variable I did not know I needed. However, I reloaded now with exec $SHELL, and I get the same error.

Thank you for your time @abhi18av

@PedroRaposo , I see. You're right, if you followed the instructions over at Tower setup then you should need to do it, but I wanted to confirm that it's not a factor.

Could you please share the nextflow.log file

Here it is. Do you think this might be a internet connectivity issue?

If you are using the bearer token, update NF to version 20.10.0 or later.

[PedroRaposo]

Thank you @pditommaso. I just needed to update my nextflow version!
