EPI2ME Labs Pangolin does not appear to Update Pangolin when checking "Update Data"

Ask away!

Good Morning All,
First off I am a huge fan of wf-artic and this pre-packaged analysis software.
I have always selected the check box within EPI2ME labs to "update data" [which says it updates Pangolin and Nextclade data at runtime] every time I run analysis. I was wondering why it never updated my Pangolin from version 4.1.3 to version 4.3 as I assumed it would have been. Am I understanding something incorrectly here? I have recently updated the wf-artic workflow and now I am on Pangolin version 4.3 as a result of that update, but I had thought I was constantly up to date because of this check box. Any info would be appreciated!
Best,
Matt

Update: when I look at an analyzed run, it says that I was running Pangolin Version 4.3.1 and Pangolin Data Version 1.29, which are the most up to date versions. Does this mean that it was actually updating and running the correct versions, but my Invocation logs were still saying I was using V4.1.3 because I hadn't updated the wf-artic workflow?

Hi Matt,
Apologies for delay. Have you resolved the issue? If you can see pangolin-data version 1.29 in the HTML report's version table, you can be sure that Pangolin was updated at runtime, since the current container bundles an older version than this.

Versions of wf-artic prior to v0.3.31 released in August 2023 did not update Pangolin and Nextclade by default, so if you were using an old version of wf-artic you may not have generated up to date lineage calls (unless manually setting --update_data to true).

Thanks,
Bede
