Description

Bug report

This seems to be the same problem as issue #2563, but I am encountering it in 24.11.0-edge build 5929. Copying data over to the same container as work / output folder resolved the problem.

Expected behavior and actual behavior
  • nextflow should be able to stage data from separate container
  • it can't
Steps to reproduce the problem

Working on this, will update issue when I have it ready.

Program output

From .command.log in work dir:

Unable to download path: https://omicsdata.blob.core.windows.net/study-data/{stuff}.fastq.gz
Unable to download path: https://omicsdata.blob.core.windows.net/study-data/{stuff}.fastq.gz
Environment
  • Nextflow version: 24.11.0-edge build 5929
  • Java version: [?]
  • Operating system: Linux
  • Bash version: (use the command $SHELL --version)
Additional context

Research direction

Start with the .command.log output and the Azure Blob URL shown in the report, then compare this failure with issue #2563. Reproduce staging data from a separate container using Nextflow 24.11.0-edge build 5929; the issue is complete when that data stages successfully without copying it into the work or output container.
