When running

nextflow run nf-core/mag -profile docker,test -r 3.4.0

on my M1 Mac, I’m finding MultiQC is just hanging after it gets to

.command.log:

MultiQC v1.28 is also timing out.

Asking on the nf-core #mag forum, i simply got it was not supposed to happen.

It’s likely the static plot generation, that seems to hang in some contexts.

We just merged a time out to gracefully handle these, might help?

What’s the best way to test, or should I just wait for release? There’s no hurry on my side.

I can confirm that I observed this hang behaviour on my Apple M1 yesterday with MultiQC 1.28.

@mahesh.binzerpanchal see https://docs.seqera.io/multiqc/getting_started/installation:

Pip (dev version)

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/MultiQC/MultiQC.git

Then run normally.

Thanks. It looks like that fixed it.
