Inconsistent exit codes

[mortunco]

Hello,

Great tool. Super useful. Especially one SRX deal with all SRRs is a life saver. Many thanks.

I have two scRNAseq datasets. I shared the examples below. I am strictly running my fastq-dl with --only-provider to get fastq.gz . These two samples dont have fastq.gz therefore technically both runs should exit with 1. But one finishes with exist status 0 (the top case) and the other exits with 1. I am just curious how these two samples are different so they are giving different outputs.

$ fastq-dl -a ERX5847526 --outdir raw-data/bodenmiller-36609566/bodenmiller-36609566-43739961/sequences/ --only-provider --verbose --cpus 2 > "raw-data/bodenmiller-36609566/bodenmiller-36609566-43739961/log/download_ENA.txt"'  && echo $?

Any idea what could be different?

Hi @mortunco

I think you might have found a fun bug. Do you know if the values existed for --outdir in each of these situations?

Also, can you try running the second command with --only-download-metadata? I'm also going to replicate on my end to see why one works and the other doesn't.

Cheers,
Robert

test_2.tar.gz

I shared the output fastq-run-info.tsv

My ignorant idea is maybe --only-provider is causing one to fail and other one fail ?
