show-snps can't handle whitespace in delta file path

not-a-feature opened this issue · 0 comments

Problem

If the delta-file, created with nucmer, contains a whitespace in the reference path, show-snps will throw the error

ERROR: Could not parse delta file, /path/with/a/white space/out.delta
error no: 400

and abort.

The header of the delta file looks as follows:

/path/with/a/white space/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa_PAO1.fasta /path/with/a/white space/scaffolds.5000.fasta
NUCMER

[...]

Workaround

Move everything to a path without a whitespace.

This is somehow related to #70
