UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

Hi,

I'm trying to run checkm in the latest version, but it doesn't work. The commands are the same as I used before, however I get with:

checkm lineage_wf checkm_000/SAMD00013503.contigs.fa.gz checkm_000/ -x .gz

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

And if I try it with an unpacked file:

IndexError: list index out of range

Unfortunately, the log file does not give any hints about further errors... I installed checkm with conda and everything seems to be up to date.

Greetings, Linda

Hi Linda. Sorry for the very slow reply. Has this issue been resolved?

Hi (:

Yes, everything works fine now. I was on vacation a few weeks and after I came back it worked without problems...I wish that was the solution to all problems. 😄
