Segfault when output directory does not exist

[brantfaircloth]

Hi Dengfeng,

Thank you for your work on this scaffolding approach and software! I'm excited to see the results.

I wanted to mention that I ran into a segfault when running pin_hic_it for the first time because I (mistakenly) assumed the output directory would be created when the code was run. I took a look at the core dump and read back through the README, and it became reasonably clear to me that an existing directory was a pre-requisite... but, that initial segfault was not the expected behavior. So, maybe just mentioning this in case anyone runs into the same issue.

Thanks again for your work!

Hey brant,

Thanks for trying pin_hic and the suggestion, I have updated the code now it will pop out an error when output directory is not found. Also pin_hic is not tested on many species so far, not for sure how well it can perform. I would be good if you can give me some feedbacks about the scaffolding results. I will take some time, see if i can improve it.

Best,

Dengfeng.

Hi there!

Thanks for addressing this issue. I am running into the same issue with pin_hic_it. I give output directory and still get segfault. Attaching the log file here for you to check.

Thanks,
Minal
