While working with the output BIOMs form this great tool I found out that not all tools like it when a BIOM file has no metadata.
fix
To fix this problem I've added the option for the user to add tsv metadata file to the BIOM file. These files can be Qiime style mapping files.
With -m you can tell which metadata file should be added. The first column in the metadata file needs to be the sample names (same as the imported files).
When no metadata file is given as input dummy metadata is made. This is the sample name.
{"Id": sample name} This way there is always metadata in the BIOM file.
