Quast warnings and errors

Hi, I am having problems with Quast on the usegalaxy.eu server.

Have tried several times, but always get this warning:
WARNING: GeneMark tool can’t be started because of license limitations!

Also get this:
ERROR! Failed downloading bacteria database (url: https://busco.ezlab.org/v2/datasets/bacteria_odb9.tar.gz), QUAST functionality will be limited! Exception caught: HTTP Error 301: Moved Permanently.

Any tip on how to solve this?

Hi @Roger_Meisal, can you file a bug report? You can do this by clicking on the ‘View or report this error’ button on the errored dataset (it looks like an insect).

Cheers, Simon

Hi Simon

Dataset does not produce any fatal error. Gene finding, Busco and Augustus does not seem to run. Here is the cut and paste from the log output of two try’s with slightly different settings

Hi Roger, unfortunately I don’t know enough about the tool to help you. I posted a link in the Gitter channel (https://gitter.im/usegalaxy-eu/Lobby) which tends to be a bit more active than this forum - hopefully someone will respond soon.
