ERROR: Sprai/CA didnt produced an output 9-terminator. Check log.

I have the same problem as some before me.
sprai-0.9.9.7.tar.gz
I installed and updated Sprai using : lpm update sprai

2. Running assembly (Sprai) (Fri Jun 7 18:22:43 CEST 2019)

   2.1- Creating the ec.spec file for Sprai.

Im having the exact same issue. I have specified EXPLICITLY the ec.spec and pb spec files when running Organelle_PBA. It mentions that those files are parsed...yet it decides to create its own spec files and use those.

The log files states:
there is no nss2v_v3 or fq2idfq.pl.
set right sprai_path in ec.spec when I have set those paths already in the spec files I passed. This is a silly bug, but one I can't seem to get around as the files Organelle_PBA reads during operation are made on the fly and I can't run specific stages again once the run dies.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this please ?

I suggest using https://github.com/rrwick/Unicycler, I have had success assemblying plant mitochondrial and plastid

[ens-LCampbell]

I've since had some luck I believe. If you go to the sprai install folder, check to see if there are these file executables present in there:
bfmt72s, myrealigner, m52bfmt7, nss2v_v3.

These files are needed when sprai runs and for some reason, when I installed sprai it didn't put all executables in the same location, instead the above files were located in a folder:
'sprai-0.9.9.23/build'

Below I have put the main running parameter output from my successful run.

Thank you diriano I shall check out unicycler as well as I will be assembling some endosymbiont data from our fly species of interest.

If you're using ubuntu, you may need to edit L265 in ezez_vx1.pl to

265c265
< my $pipefail = "set -o pipefail;";
---
> my $pipefail = "";

It's because perl uses sh to execute command, and ubuntu directs sh to dash which don't support set command instead of bash.

Hi @cgjosephlee , I have this error message. I tried your docker but it still has the same error message. Do you have any suggestions for me? These are the log files:
02_1_Sprai_log.txt

Thank you very much!
