Show_analysis_paths doesn't work

Ask for help

Hi there,

I’m new to multiqc and trying to incorporate few things. I’m interested to disable analysis folder path in the reports.

My config.yaml looks like:

report_header_info:
 - show_analysis_paths: False

The indentation is/are space-separated.
When I run multiqc with the config file I still see the paths at the top/header of the html file.

I run it as:

multiqc primary/fastp/tumor/ star_align/ fastp/tumor/ fastp/normal/ --zip-data-dir  --config config_multiqc.yaml --force

Thank you for creating this forum.

I cannot upload the .html file so I’ve renamed it to .txt extension.

Please see attached screenshot.

Hi @complexgenome,

The show_analysis_paths option should be top level, not part of report_header_info:

show_analysis_paths: False

MultiQC is actually doing what you asked it to, which is showing a header info block at the top saying “show_analysis_paths: False” - though probably not what you wanted :sweat_smile:

Hope that helps, please shout if you found some documentation etc. somewhere that makes it look like it should be part of report_header_info.

I found on the page it says:

If you wish, you can disable the analysis paths and/or time in the report header with the following config parameters:

Thank you
