NFCORE_RNASEQ:RNASEQ:CUSTOM_DUMPSOFTWAREVERSIONS (1)` terminated with an error exit status (1) #1103

Description of the bug

I am running the pipeline in Rackham server in UPPMAX, so I am using -profile uppmax when running the command. I resume a run where I have processed around 200 samples. In the step CUSTOM_DUMPSOFTWAREVERSIONS, the run always terminates with the error. Funnily, I have had a couple of runs in the same output and work directory, none of them had failed previously.

I also get an error in this task, with version 3.13.2 and the version before it.

I am not sure if it is the same issue as originally posted. I've traced mine back to umi-tools and matplotlib.

In the working folder for the task, the collated_versions.yml has unexpected formatting for umi-tools:

"NFCORE_RNASEQ:RNASEQ:BAM_DEDUP_STATS_SAMTOOLS_UMITOOLS_GENOME:UMITOOLS_DEDUP":
    umitools: Matplotlib created a temporary config/cache directory at /tmp/matplotlib-xzn3u8vt because the default path (/home/kimon/.config/matplotlib) is not a writable directory; it is highly recommended to set the MPLCONFIGDIR environment variable to a writable directory, in particular to speed up the import of Matplotlib and to better support multiprocessing.
 1.1.4

I am not sure why this warning appears there of all places. what I do know is that the path in question is for sure present and has dwrx permissions for everyone. But it is oudside Nextflow's sandbox directory. Maybe the pipeline should set this env variable suggested in the warning message to an appropriate local directory, and then unset it. Or anticipate the potential presence of the warning when collating software versions.

As far as I can tell, everything else in the pipeline has completed correctly.

kvn95ss · 2023-12-04T09:32:55Z

@fruce-ki I just checked my yml files, I too have the same error in some of the yml files.

Looking at the spacing in first line, maybe it could be a parsing error?

For ex. the original error might be shown as

UMI-tools version:     umitools: Matplotlib created a temporary config/cache directory at /tmp/matplotlib-xzn3u8vt because the default path (/home/kimon/.config/matplotlib) is not a writable directory; it is highly recommended to set the MPLCONFIGDIR environment variable to a writable directory, in particular to speed up the import of Matplotlib and to better support multiprocessing.
UMI-tools version: 1.1.4

and since the regex used in sed is 's/^.*UMI-tools version://; s/ *\$//' it must have gone through it.

But that's just my guess, maybe adding tail -1 could ensure only last line is processed by sed, but that's making assumptions that any future error codes won't appear in the later lines.

MatthiasZepper · 2023-12-04T10:31:11Z

Yes, it is a parsing error that is related to the dreaded home directory issue popping up in large numbers in the recent weeks.

Since Nextflow 23.10, the user’s home directory is no longer mounted automatically inside Singularity containers, the --no-home setting became default. In terms of reproducibility, this is certainly desirable, but it causes multiple pipelines to crash, which silently misuse the home directory as writeable temporary cache (most common offenders are Python libraries such as Matplotlib or Numba and tools like Qiime2, Pixelator or CheckM or apparently also umi-tools.

Ultimately, the respective modules need to be fixed, but until those updates propagated into new, validated pipeline releases, it will likely be required to set NXF_SINGULARITY_HOME_MOUNT=true to stick to the old behaviour.

So either run the pipeline with Nextflow 23.04 or set the environment variable accordingly to mount the home directory into the Singularity containers.

martinfthomsen · 2023-12-06T10:57:27Z

Thanks for the suggestion Matthias. Sadly, adding "NXF_SINGULARITY_HOME_MOUNT=true" did not resolve my issue.

martinfthomsen · 2023-12-06T11:02:43Z

I cannot seem to find this "collated_versions.yml". It is not found in the work directory, do anyone know where this file can be located?

EDIT: nvm, I found the reference inside the .command.run file 🙂

martinfthomsen · 2023-12-06T11:10:06Z

Update: I can see my issue stems from the following entry in the yaml file.

"NFCORE_RNASEQ:RNASEQ:FASTQ_FASTQC_UMITOOLS_TRIMGALORE:FASTQC":
    fastqc: [0.001s][warning][os,container] Duplicate cpuset controllers detected. Picking /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset, skipping /ngc/tools/ngctools/singularity/3.9.6/var/sing
0.12.1

Seems the tool creating the yaml file, does not handle a log warning properly, and adds it to the output (collated_versions.yml)...

Any suggestions how to fix/hack this issue?

The message after "umitools: " also, like my issue, seems to be a warning or similar, that is being interpreted as the version.
I think the culprit is the tool which generated the collated_versions.yml file. It does not handle these warnings and other messages correctly, and just puts anything it gets into the yaml file, rather than just the version number of the tool...

However in your case, you might be able to get rid of the warning message by following Matthias's advice.

Thanks @kvn95ss,

I opened modules/nf-core/fastqc/main.nf and changed line 40 and 52 from:

        fastqc: \$( fastqc --version | sed -e "s/FastQC v//g" )

to

        fastqc: \$( fastqc --version | tail -1 | sed -e "s/FastQC v//g" )

which solved the issue for me.

Hi guys! I think I got a similar issue over in Sarek v3.3.2 (singularity-run), that is, I got a versions.yml-file with the following content:

"NFCORE_SAREK:sarek:BAM_VARIANT_CALLING_SOMATIC_ALL:BAM_VARIANT_CALLING_CNVKIT:CNVKIT_BATCH":
    samtools: samtools: error while loading shared libraries: libhts.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    cnvkit: 0.9.10

which ends up in collated_versions.yml and then causes CUSTOM_DUMPSOFTWAREVERSIONS to fail.

I saw your fixes for your seemingly similar issues, but changing the way the "version string" gets passed seems a bit of a "superficial" fix to me, since there is clearly something fundamentally wrong when a call to <some_tool> --version throws an error, right? At first glance, I would prefer the job to fail loudly (instead of silently as it does now). Any idea about what the underlying problem might be?

@maxulysse and I have a discussion going on this on Slack.

mahesh-panchal · 2024-04-04T07:45:00Z

I suggested this: https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C043UU89KKQ/p1707125822258109?thread_ts=1706698395.146229&cid=C043UU89KKQ

Maybe we need to start checking the version strings against a regex in the script. This would be another reason to use environment variables (I'm not 100% on this idea as it may kill an otherwise working analysis):
VERSION=\$( pigz --version 2>&1 | sed 's/pigz //g' ) && [[ \$VERSION =~ ^[0-9.]+\$ ]]
( I'm not sure how one would handle R or python scripts though ).
The custom dumpsoftware versions should handle malformed version numbers too.

You memory is strong, @mahesh-panchal 💪 Mine - not so much 😆 Your suggestion seems like a step in the right direction. Do we have a GitHub-issue for fixing this? (I looked in the modules-repo, since it seems like this is something that should be fixed across all modules.)

mahesh-panchal · 2024-04-04T08:13:31Z

There's no specific issue as far as I know. Only discussions as we're still up in the air whether to use environment variables or cmd.
