8. Exercise 6¶

The error message suggests that the path to the samplesheet.csv is incorrect.

Searching the file directory, indeed, /workspace/gitpod/troubleshoot/exercise6/data/samplesheet.csv does not exist.

The complete path should be /workspace/gitpod/troubleshoot/data/samplesheet.csv.

By examining how the path to samplesheet.csv is derived it can be seen that there is no obvious path error.

// Execution environment setup
params.baseDir = "/workspace/gitpod/troubleshoot"
$baseDir = params.baseDir

// Primary input
params.reads_bam = "${baseDir}/data/samplesheet.csv"

However, it can be noted that there is a $ before baseDir on line 7 which would suggest it is a variable.

$baseDir was once an implicit variable, and its usage here is causing the wrong path.

By removing the $ the proper path should be resolved.
