terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' what(): [bioparser::SamParser] error: invalid file format

[MatsuSui]

Hi, I have a problem with Racon.

Firstly, I got the .paf with minimap2. minimap2 -t 35 /data3/suisn/nanopore/bp/miniasm/miniasm.fasta /data3/suisn/nanopore/bp/filter/NanoFilt/nanofilt_trimmed.fastq > racon_round0.paf

Then, I used the folllowing command to run Racon conda activate racon racon -t 35 /data3/suisn/nanopore/bp/filter/NanoFilt/nanofilt_trimmed.fastq ./racon_round0.paf /data3/suisn/nanopore/bp/miniasm/miniasm.fasta > ./racon_round1.fasta &

I got the error message: [racon::Polisher::initialize] loaded target sequences 16.907044 s [racon::Polisher::initialize] loaded sequences 518.917979 s terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' what(): [bioparser::SamParser] error: invalid file format

Please give me some advises. Thank you.

Did you by any chance used the wrong input? Errors in form of 'invalid file format' happen when the file extension (e.g. .paf/.sam) does not match the format of the file. Maybe you run minimap2 without option -a and saved it as .sam?
