ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: PlotlyBase.savefig(::PlotlyJS.SyncPlot), ::String) is ambiguous

Hi,

This is the first time I'm trying to use VIVA. I followed GATK best practices to generate a vcf file that I want to visualise. I am using a cluster.

I ran: Julia viva -f 20190219_Gli1_5d_A03_Recalibratedhaplo_called.vcf -o viva_output/ -s pdf

And I got this error:
ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: PlotlyBase.savefig(::PlotlyJS.SyncPlot, ::String) is ambiguous. Candidates:
savefig(p::PlotlyJS.SyncPlot, a...) in PlotlyJS at /home/cluster/colpe/.julia/packages/PlotlyJS/AhkM5/src/savefig_orca.jl:1

Not sure what to do now...
I would greatly appreciate some help.
Kind regards

@coraolpe Hi Cora,

Thank you for bringing this issue up. I'm sorry for my delayed response. Do you still need help with this? I think the issue may be that the output directory parameter does not expect a '/' character at the end of the directory name. Have you tried running it with the following command instead?

Julia viva -f 20190219_Gli1_5d_A03_Recalibratedhaplo_called.vcf -o viva_output -s pdf

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other issues!

George
