Conda profile FastQC crash

[jfy133]

Describe the bug
When using the following flag -profile standard,conda the pipeline crashes at FastQC with th exit status 127, and the following command error:

Command error:
  java: symbol lookup error: /projects1/users/fellows/nextflow/eager2/my_test/work/conda/nf-core-eager-2.0.0-a95ee9548e4a04d99b07955eabaa0afe/jre/lib/amd64/../../../lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

Furthermore, one 'Tip' message provided is to check .command.out file in the work directory. However, this file doesn't exist. Note, the tip message seems to change when re-running so it would be good to know if this is a random 'help of the day' type message from Nextflow, and if so make that clearer.

To Reproduce
The command I used was
run nf-core/eager --reads 'EXB015.A1701/*_R{1,2}*fastq.gz' --pairedEnd --fasta '~References/hg19_MT.fasta' -profile standard,conda --max_cpus 4 --max_memory 32G

(Sending input files privately)

Expected behavior

Not to crash and possibly for the conda environment downloaded having the correct library contents

Screenshots
NA

Operating System:
Ubuntu 14.04

Additional context
Please provide me with the following files:

• .nextflow.log
• results/pipeline_info/...

Could be related to bioconda/bioconda-recipes#5026

[apeltzer]

Looks to me a bit like a bioconda issue

[apeltzer]

Apparently its an issue if you have reversed conda channels.

- defaults
- bioconda
- conda-forge

is the correct order. I had the latter two switched, thus potentially causing that issue. I'll run a local test with the updated recipe and might push a new release to resolve the problem if that helps!

[apeltzer]

Could you give it a try please @jfy133 ? Please use the switch -r dev to run the pipeline with the otherwise identical command as before. If you confirm this to work, I'll push 2.0.1 :-)

Sadly same error. Also with fresh nextflow depencies and nf-core/eager2 files
nextflow.log

I have a similar issue on a Slurm based cluster, and reproduced the issue using conda, and singularity with a pre-build image (singularity pull) as well as a build image on the system itself. Here's the command and the error message:

@yassineS thats a bit of a different issue - can you open a separate ticket for that one?

@jfy133 We found a solution for this and I'll try to push an update for that soonish to test again.
