[Swift-devel] RE: User script gets null pointer exception

Hi Michael,
 
I used swift version 0.8. I was able to run the same swift script last week, but I don't know why I cannot run it now. Yesterday, I was trying to set up sites.xml and tc.data for NCSA and SDSC clusters, but it didn't run. So I removed those configurations and just used all the original files to see if I can still run swift. That's when I ran into errors. The sites.xml and tc.data were in the /home/yuechen/swift-0.8/etc/. PTMap run by itself seems normal. To test PTMap, I use the following command in PTMap directory at /home/yuechen/PTMap/:
 
$ ./PTMap BSASolution.mzXML fasta172 inputs.txt parameters.txt

Thank you very much for help.

Regards,

Chen, Yue

Yue, I should have clarified: this is a Swift bug.

Its perhaps caused by some error in your program, but Swift should never
get a null pointer exception.

Ben, Mihael - The log is in:

/home/yuechen/PTMapZhao/PTMap/PTMap-20090310-1746-zszi94b6.log

The error seems to be related to some boundary condition on the array
"texts" which maps Yue's 375 fasta files, fast01 .. fasta375

This message is in the log:

Yue, what version of Swift are you using?

Please send the first few lines of your output file, where it says
something like:

Swift svn swift-r2701 cog-r2332

RunID: 20090319-0820-19zttiq9

(in fact please send the whole output file, stdout/err)

Ive tried to run your code in a near-identical test and I cant reproduce
the failure. Ive tried with both swift0.8 and the latest svn rev, and
both seem to work.

Also please can you post the pathname of the directory in which you are
testing (I assume you are running this on a CI machine?) so that I can
look at your logfile? And make it publicly accessible?

Thanks,

- Mike
