Possible ants bracket expansion bug

[jarodroland]

What happened?

I ran into this error in the PostFreeSurfer stage that in searching looks like it may be related to an issue with ANTs known as the "bracket expansion bug": ANTsX/ANTs#712

What command did you use?

Routine Docker execution in PostFreeSurfer stage.

What version of the abcd-hcp pipeline are you using?

v0.1.0

Add any additional information or context about the problem here.

I was able to work around by adding 'set -f' in the ansRegistrationSyN.sh script within the Docker container with the following command:
docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash -v /data/bids:/bids_input -v /data/bids/derivatives/abcd-hcp-pipeline:/output -v /freesurfer-license.txt:/license.txt dcanumn/abcd-hcp-pipeline:v0.1.0 -c 'sed -i "2i set -f" /opt/ants/antsRegistrationSyN.sh; /entrypoint.sh /bids_input /output --freesurfer-license=/license.txt --ncpus 12 --participant-label 123 --session-id 01 --stage PostFreeSurfer:PostFreeSurfer'

You may want to consider updating the ANTs version in the Docker container.
