Own Pipeline Fails to Start on Seqera Platform (Exit Status: 1, Full Error Message: n/a)

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue when trying to run my Nextflow pipeline directly on Seqera Platform. The pipeline fails to start with the following error message:


When the pipeline is submitted, a new VM instance is created on my Google Cloud project, but the pipeline never starts.

I added the two test pipelines nextflow-io/hello and seqeralabs/nf-genomics-hello to my launchpad, and I was able to successfully run both of them with my own compute environment on Seqera platform.

When I was comparing those runs to the failed ones from my own pipeline, I noticed that the command used to run the test pipelines had the GitHub URL wrapped in single quotes, which is not the case when running my pipeline.


Also no output log files are created in the work directory, as if the pipeline didn’t even start.

Based on Nextflow’s documentation, URLs without quotes should work, but I’m wondering if this inconsistency could be causing the error.

Appreciate any help and suggestions! :smiling_face:
Thanks in advance!
