This operates on FILENAMES

Looking at the code as it is written, it has the assumption that read filenames are in the format

_{R1,R2,1,2}.fastq.gz

NNNN-NNNNN_S33_R1_001.fastq.gz and NNNN-NNNNN_S33_R2_001.fastq.gz will be split to NNNN-NNNNN_S33_R1 and NNNN-NNNNN_S33_R2 which don't match

A fudge solution would be to make softlinks that remove the _001 until the sanger-pathogens team have bandwidth to correct the code

I was implementing a seroba component on flowcraft and getting this error when some particular components came before seroba. Thank you @tseemann and @aunderwo for your discussion! Without it I could not have figured it out! And @tseemann, I'm renaming all the input files to ${sample_id}_{1,2}.fq.gz to make it work. :)

Thanks!!!

I don't feel I should have to rename my files for a tool to work :(

[tseemann]

The code is

seroba/seroba/tasks/sero_run.py

Lines 10 to 12 in 37a5737

	if (options.read1.rsplit('_',1)[0] != options.read2.rsplit('_',1)[0]):
	print('Names for forwards and reverse reads does not match. Cannot continue', file=sys.stderr)
	sys.exit(1)

Is this operating on the read FILENAMES or the READ IDs ?

Mine are NNNN-NNNNN_S33_R2_001.fastq.gz and R2

[tseemann]

Thanks once again @aunderwo

Argh. Our other system is to use SAMPLE/{R1,R2}.fq.gz but that fails too.
Names for forwards and reverse reads does not match. Cannot continue :(

Even I have the same issue. I am using Docker image and renamed files as read_1.fq.gz and read_2.fq.gz as suggested by @cimendes. The issue isn't resolved. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

renaming the files to $name_1.fastq.gz and $name_2.fastq.gz worked.
