Hello,

I have a problem with my set of fast5 files.

When I run the readFast5Summary command I obtain this message error :

Error opening: shares-net/sequencages/nanopore/fast5/FAD22491_20161011/uploaded/dnacpc14_20161011_FNFAD22491_MN17734_sequencing_run_run2_46863_ch128_read696_strand.fast5 - File Skipped

Reading Channel Data
Error in data.table(id = 1:nrow(readInfo), file = basename(files), readInfo) :
  Item 2 has no length. Provide at least one item (such as NA, NA_integer_ etc) to be repeated to match the 2 rows in the longest column. Or, all columns can be 0 length, for insert()ing rows into.

I have R 3.3.3 and ioniser 1.4.4.

Here you are some files of my dataset:

Can you help me please ?

Best regards.

I've tested the package with your files and it seems to work fine.  I suspect the error you're seeing is because the file can't be accessed.  You need to make sure the path to the files is either absolute i.e. starting at the root of your system, or is relative to the current working directory of your R session.  I prefer using absolute paths and if you're following the package vignette, and using list.files() to find all the fast5 files in a folder, you need to set the argument full.names = TRUE e.g.

fast5files <- list.files(path = "/path/to/data/", pattern = ".fast5$", full.names = TRUE)

With your data I get:
