Do not create output files on error

Open kim-fehl opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I used the wrong path to my database for RDPTools classify, and got the corresponding error: Command Error: Unable to process file format UNKNOWN However, empty output files still have been created. I use Snakemake pipeline system, and if the output of the pipeline step is created, it thinks that everything is all right. I would suggest either return error code to the system or at least do not create output files in such case, so the pipeline could understand that this step was broken.
