Error: "The file provided does not have the proper fastq format" or hanging when supplying gzipped files

[jfy133]

I wanted to test nonpareil with the new gzip functionality, however I'm encountering a variety of errors.

When using the bioconda recipe (which is the same as the previous, just with the new code and a zlib dependency), I get the following error on all files I test

$ nonpareil -s ERX5474932_ERR5766176_1.fastq.gz -T kmer -f fastq -b output
Nonpareil v3.5.1

So I went to try the compiled version you included on the release here on GitHub,

$ wget https://github.com/lmrodriguezr/nonpareil/releases/download/v3.5.1/nonpareil-3.5.1-Linux_x86_64
$ chmod +x nonpareil-3.5.1-Linux_x86_64

and while it works if I uncompress the file (uncompressd to 'test.fastq')

$ ./nonpareil-3.5.1-Linux_x86_64 -s test.fastq -T kmer -f fastq -b output
Nonpareil v3.5.1

It just hangs forever. on the following...

$ ./nonpareil-3.5.1-Linux_x86_64 -s ERX5474932_ERR5766176_1.fastq.gz -T kmer -f fastq -b output
Nonpareil v3.5.1

The two test files I tried this on I've placed on dropbox here, which are valid FASTQ files as I use them for a vairety of pipelines I use.

Note that in all cases empty tmp files are generated, e.g. with:

e.g. for the three most recent (Failed) tests:

Thank you for all the testing @jfy133 , and hopefully this is the last of the faulty releases. Apologies for that. Please feel free to reopen if the new version doesn't work for you (I'll be creating a release very soon).

That appears to work better now :D noted someething else (will make a separate issue), but it appears to run without erroring now. I'll look into updating bioconda

Actually nevermind, @martin-g beat me too it :D
