nextdenovo empty fasta files

Hi, I recently ran nextdenovo and while the run was “successful” and produced assembly stats and a configuration file, the fasta files were empty. There seems to be an error writing the file: here is the error log:

Welcome, @hogandj

First, try rerunning the job now. Cluster errors tend to cluster themselves temporally.

If still reproducible, we can report this to the EU administrators. You can post back the content of the job details page or generate and post back a shared history link. The “job api ID” is the important part if you are certain the problem isn’t due to some data issue.

Hi,
I’ve recently encountered the same issue that hongandj posted about two years ago on Galaxy EU.
Since earlier this year, I’ve repeatedly run into the same problem: the job completes and I receive a file like “NextDenovo on data xxx: stats” (example linked below), but the resulting FASTA file is empty (also linked below).
This issue doesn’t seem to be related to the input fq.gz file — I’ve tried multiple datasets and observed the same result each time.
It seems like something might be going wrong during the final step of writing the FASTA output, but I haven’t been able to identify or resolve the cause from my end.
I’d appreciate any suggestions or help in resolving this.

Thank you in advance!
