Hi everybody, could someone please help me fix these failing conda tests in this PR? Update minimap2/align versions channel to new topics format by dwells-eit · Pull Request #9752 · nf-core/modules Docker and singularity is passing and most conda tests pass. It's just 2 throwing an error which seems to be related to access to params and

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getAt() on null object

. The PR is for updating to the new version topic format. My best guess of the culprit is changing

process.out.versions

to

process.out.findAll { key, val -> key.startsWith("versions_") }

But I couldn't say why that should throw an error sometimes in conda Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm stumped

I have no idea, but could it be that the

eval("minimap2 --version")

in the output definition fails with Conda (but not with containers)? If that would leave the output empty, it could be seen as a "`null object`" ... I would start with making sure that this actually works (test

minimap --version

in the Conda environment, make sure the process output contains the version number, etc.). Whatever it is, it pretty much has to be a command that runs inside of a container or Conda, otherwise you wouldn't see it succeed with one and fail with the other. 🤞

Thanks Thomas, I have no idea what the issue was in the end but updating the branch from master has sorted it out. 👍
