Thanks to @joelnitta for pointing out the update of restez. I am closing this now, as the test is passed in current version:

Hi Matteo,

It seems there is an error when trying to determine the version of your installed version of the NCBI BLAST+ tools.

It is hard for me to examine exactly where things are going wrong as I don't have access to your computer. Could you run the following script? It basically recreates what phylotaR does internally. We should expect vrsn to become a numeric vector but on your machine it appears to be an empty vector. If we can work out how this occurs then we should be able to fix the bug.

cmd_path <- file.path('C:/Program Files/ncbi-blast-2.7.1+/bin', 'blastn')
res <- phylotaR:::cmdln(cmd = cmd_path, args = '-version')
# Is the status TRUE?
(res[['status']] == 0)
# What are the BLASTN details?
stdout <- rawToChar(res[['stdout']])
(stdout <- strsplit(x = stdout, split = '\n')[[1]])
# Can we extract the version number?
vrsn <- gsub('[a-zA-Z:+]', '', stdout[[1]])
vrsn <- gsub('\\s', '', vrsn)
(vrsn <- as.numeric(strsplit(vrsn, '\\.')[[1]]))
# Version should be 2 +, expect TRUE
(vrsn[1] >= 2 & vrsn[2] >= 0)

For reference, here is the above code working for my machine.

> cmd_path <- file.path('/usr/local/ncbi/blast/bin', 'blastn')
> res <- phylotaR:::cmdln(cmd = cmd_path, args = '-version')
> # Is the status TRUE?
> (res[['status']] == 0)
[1] TRUE
> # What are the BLASTN details?
> stdout <- rawToChar(res[['stdout']])
> (stdout <- strsplit(x = stdout, split = '\n')[[1]])
[1] "blastn: 2.2.29+"                                  
[2] "Package: blast 2.2.29, build Dec 10 2013 15:51:59"
> # Can we extract the version number?

[1]  2  2 29
> # Version should be 2 +, expect TRUE
> (vrsn[1] >= 2 & vrsn[2] >= 0)
[1] TRUE

from phylotar.

Thank you for the answer!

I ran the code and I ge this:

cmd_path <- file.path('C:/Program Files/ncbi-blast-2.7.1+/bin', 'blastn')
res <- phylotaR:::cmdln(cmd = cmd_path, args = '-version')

Is the status TRUE?

(res[['status']] == 0)
[1] TRUE

What are the BLASTN details?

stdout <- rawToChar(res[['stdout']])
(stdout <- strsplit(x = stdout, split = '\n')[[1]])
[1] "blastn: 2.7.1+\r"
[2] " Package: blast 2.7.1, build Oct 18 2017 19:55:35\r"

Can we extract the version number?

vrsn <- gsub('[a-zA-Z:+]', '', stdout[[1]])
vrsn <- gsub('\s', '', vrsn)
(vrsn <- as.numeric(strsplit(vrsn, '\.')[[1]]))
[1] 2 7 1

Version should be 2 +, expect TRUE

(vrsn[1] >= 2 & vrsn[2] >= 0)
[1] TRUE

from phylotar.

OK. That all looks fine. I expected that to fail.

Can you repeat the code I sent you but with makeblastdb instead of blastn? E.g.

cmd_path <- file.path('C:/Program Files/ncbi-blast-2.7.1+/bin',, 'makeblastdb')
res <- phylotaR:::cmdln(cmd = cmd_path, args = '-version')
# Is the status TRUE?
(res[['status']] == 0)
# What are the details?
stdout <- rawToChar(res[['stdout']])
(stdout <- strsplit(x = stdout, split = '\n')[[1]])
# Can we extract the version number?
vrsn <- gsub('[a-zA-Z:+]', '', stdout[[1]])
vrsn <- gsub('\\s', '', vrsn)
(vrsn <- as.numeric(strsplit(vrsn, '\\.')[[1]]))
# Version should be 2 +, expect TRUE
(vrsn[1] >= 2 & vrsn[2] >= 0)

Also, can you try running this? It should return a list of the NCBI paths. Given your code error it should fail.

cmd_path <- 'C:/Program Files/ncbi-blast-2.7.1+/bin'
(phylotaR:::blast_setup(d = cmd_path, v = TRUE, wd = getwd()))

from phylotar.

This is what I get:

cmd_path <- file.path('C:/Program Files/ncbi-blast-2.7.1+/bin/makeblastdb')
res <- phylotaR:::cmdln(cmd = cmd_path, args = '-version')

Is the status TRUE?

(res[['status']] == 0)
[1] TRUE

What are the details?

stdout <- rawToChar(res[['stdout']])
(stdout <- strsplit(x = stdout, split = '\n')[[1]])
[1] "MAKEBL~1: 2.7.1+\r" " Package: blast 2.7.1, build Oct 18 2017 19:55:35\r"

Can we extract the version number?

vrsn <- gsub('[a-zA-Z:+]', '', stdout[[1]])
vrsn <- gsub('\s', '', vrsn)
(vrsn <- as.numeric(strsplit(vrsn, '\.')[[1]]))

Hi Matteo,

OK. So it looks like we're getting an unexpected "~1:" in the makeblastdb version description. I've made a fix to hopefully correct the problem for you.

Can you try installing the development version and running your pipeline code again? To install the latest development version on GitHub:

library(devtools)
install_github('ropensci/phylotaR')

Dom

from phylotar.

Hi Dom,
thank you very much for your help.
Notit works.

However another issue came out:

During the blast phase an error occured:

-Unexpected Error : blastn failed to run. Check BLAST log files.

According to the blast log file:

-BLAST query/options error: '"6' is not a valid output format

Best,

Matteo

from phylotar.

Hi Matteo,

Sorry for the persistent problems. I've created some new checker functions during the setup step. If you update phylotaR to the latest on GitHub and try running your pipeline again, does it still work? And does the error crop up again? It should get caught earlier.

Hi,
sorry for my late reply.
Now it's working

from phylotar.

I confirm @agamisch issue. Trying to reproduce Aotus example I got the following error:
Unexpected Error : blastn failed to run. Check BLAST log files.
And inside the log file:
BLAST query/options error: '"6' is not a valid output format

from phylotar.

Hi @basil-yakimov,

Are you using the latest version of phylotaR, downloaded from GitHub?

Try running:

remotes::install_github('ropensci/phylotaR')

I recently fixed issues relating to that particular error.

Otherwise, if the error is still occurring I will need more information about your system and set-up.

Thanks!

from phylotar.

I am using version from CRAN. Here is a report after the attempt to install from github:

Then I updated my R from 3.5.3 to 3.6.1. Got the same error:

Error: Failed to install 'phylotaR' from GitHub:

from phylotar.

Previously restez was taken down from CRAN, but it is now available again (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/restez/index.html). Installing phylotaR should now be possible.

from phylotar.

Great! Please let me know if you encounter any problems with restez.
