Unused Arguments Error when running battenberg_wgs.R

[jcesar101]

The updated battenberg_wgs.R is now available in the dev branch:

https://github.com/Wedge-lab/battenberg/blob/34cdd8d02f8b6ac684447216178bb0cd856e35ef/inst/example/battenberg_wgs.R

Thank you.

Hi @parth2608!

I have a similar problem with unused arguments. Did you solve this?

Best,
Alice

Hi,

could you please confirm what version of Battenberg was used when getting this error?

Hi,

I am using the latest version in the development branch!

This is the error message that I get:

`Error in battenberg(analysis = analysis, tumourname = TUMOURNAME, normalname = NORMALNAME,  :
  unused arguments (tumourname = TUMOURNAME, tumour_data_file = TUMOURBAM, GENOMEBUILD = GENOMEBUILD)
Execution halted`

Thank you for your prompt reply. In that version of Battenberg the name of the tumourname and tumour_data_file parameters changed to samplename and sample_data_file, respectively:

...
#' @param samplename Sample identifier (tumour or germline), this is used as a prefix for the output files. If allele counts are supplied separately, they are expected to have this identifier as prefix.
#' @param normalname Matched normal identifier, this is used as a prefix for the output files. If allele counts are supplied separately, they are expected to have this identifier as prefix.
#' @param sample_data_file A BAM or CEL file for the sample
#' @param normal_data_file A BAM or CEL file for the normal-pair (paired analysis)
...

There are also new optional parameters for enhanced functionality. We are currently working in updating the documentation and wrapping up the next Battenberg release. In the meantime, we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Is there an updated Battenberg_wgs.R available for this change?

The option list in the current file is:

option_list = list(
  make_option(c("-a", "--analysis_type"), type="character", default="paired", help="Type of analysis to run: paired (tumour+normal), cell_line (only tumour), germline (only normal)", metavar="character"),
  make_option(c("-t", "--tumourname"), type="character", default=NULL, help="Samplename of the tumour", metavar="character"),
  make_option(c("-n", "--normalname"), type="character", default=NULL, help="Samplename of the normal", metavar="character"),

Thank you for your great work with Battenberg!
