AMRProt

[Nanderson246]

Updated my databse and new version of armfinder is not working: The BLAST database for AMRProt was not found. Use amrfinder -u to download and prepare database for AMRFinderPlus: No such file or directory.

[vbrover]

The amrfinder software version is now 3.12.9.
It means that the database format has changed.
Please install the new version of amrfinder.

If the problem persists please post the complete screen output.

I got the same error as above with v3.12.8 which appears to be the latest release available

The solution for me was to run amrfinder --force_update. The amrfinder -u command was skipping the update because the target directory already had some files in it.

We will try to improve this error message in the future versions.
