Lefse input problem resulting in error "IndexError: list index out of range"

[jennaj]

Hi @Emma

@jennaj

You are working at this public server, correct? Galaxy | Hutlab Galaxy

The server is set up a bit differently than other public servers and hosts custom versions of tools, in particular the Lefse tool suite. Their support/admin team does not follow this forum, but there are other ways to contact them about odd or non-reproducible results.

That said, this error in technical terms means that the tool is looking for specific data in part of the input that isn’t being found. There is probably some problem with the column or row selected for the option “Select which [row|column] to use as subclass”.

Try double-checking your tabular input (first option on the tool’s form) to make sure there is content in the row or column you selected. Tutorials and example data are hosted on that public Galaxy server for comparison. Scoll down on that tool form for an example of input data organized by rows.

Hope that helps!
