HISAT2 Empty summary file

Hi,

I’ve tried to use HISAT2 on some of my Cutadapt output files, however the summary files from HISAT2 are always empty for my 48 files (i.e. 0 lines). I tried re-uploading my data and starting the analysis again, re-running HISAT2 multiple times, and even trying the files on the main galaxy site (which didn’t work either). Strangely, I got a ‘normal’ summary file just once after re-running HISAT2 on one file, but I deleted it thinking the problem had been solved to re-run the tool on all the samples again.

The genome file I’m aligning to has been successfully used in previous analyses, and the bam file from HISAT2 is fine for downstream analyses. Can anyone give me some insight on what I can do to fix this?
