Since the more widespread adoption of topic channels, we’re seeing this error pop up quite a bit.
Copy code
Missing environment variable: nxf_out_eval_16
Which causes the whole pipeline to fail. Has anyone encountered this too? Seems to have smth to do with the
eval
statements in the modules
m
I have seen this
Do you have workflow outputs too?
m
yep
m
That's what I guessed
m
You know what’s going on?
Is there already an open issue and/or fix?
m
Empty channels do not work great with topics and workflow outputs if I remember well. I don't think I opened an issue for this unfortunately. I quickly managed to identify which channel was causing that issue and killed it
m
Well, that already gives me smth to look for, thanks
m
I'll need to verify on my computer, but I do think it's that
m
@Nicolas Vannieuwkerke see above ⬆️
n
which channels are empty?
m
recurrent issue with smallvariants on nomad
n
different processes or is it only happening in the same processes?
m
I think mosty bcftools tbh 🤔 not sure
m
I would remove al channels from workflow outputs and add them back one at a time
m
Update: This issue seems to be fixed (at least for us) by updating the
bcftools
modules with the combined index output channel.
m
NICE
m
No idea what went wrong, but it’s gone now 😄 Must have had something to do with one of the index channels being empty

Sounds about right
