Pipe line Error with HiSAT2 Aligner

[merang2050]

Description of the bug

I have some errors when I run the pipe line with HiSAT2 aligner. If I use same configuration with STAR RSEM, I don't have any errors.

Command used and terminal output

nextflow run nf-core/rnaseq -r 3.14.0 \
--outdir iBOSK_HiSAT2_results \
-c /resources/nf_hisat2.config \
-profile singularity \
--input /iBOSK_sheetList.csv \
--aligner hisat2 \
--igenomes_ignore \
--genome null \
--multiqc_title "iBOSK HiSAT2 RNA-seq" \
--gencode \
--fasta GRCm38/GRCm38.primary_assembly.genome.fa.gz \
--gtf GRCm38/gencode.vM25.annotation.gtf.gz \

I think it's quite likely HISAT2 is failing for some reason with those input data, which is causing the pipe error, see this Slack thread: https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/CE8SSJV3N/p1713885189645209. I would start with the actions proposed there.

Closing for now but feel free to re-open if required. See #1270 (comment)

I have the same as errors when I run the pipe line with HiSAT2 aligner. I am running nf-core/rnaseq locally and encountered this issue with HISAT2: mkfifo(/tmp/45..inpipe1) failed. Sufficient memory has been allocated.
