Description of the bug

The process STANDARDISATION_PROFILES:KAIJU_KAIJU2TABLE_COMBINED was ignored due to the empty input files passed from the function combineProfilesWithDatabase

• ch_input_for_kaiju2tablecombine.profile
• ch_input_for_kaiju2tablecombine.db

ch_input_for_kaiju2tablecombine = combineProfilesWithDatabase(ch_profiles_for_kaiju, ch_input_databases.kaiju)

@Midnighter, you might have a better understanding of this function. Could you please take a look at these issues?

[Midnighter]

Do you have logs from the Kaiju step itself? Empty files are usually produced when nothing was detected.

[LilyAnderssonLee]

Do you mean log files from the process KAIJU_KAIJU? They are actually empty. Or are you referring to log files from a different process?

I don't think this issue was caused by the empty files, as I am not receiving the combined report in my clinical samples either.

Fixed in #464.
