Files are there but it says there is no such a file.

I intended to merge two tables, but surprisingly it says there are not such files. I opened the terminal in the directory that the tables are there. I examined it a couple of times. Unbelievable! I shared the error with you to find out the problem. I used the three modes of --p-overlap-method parameter. The results are same.

qiime feature-table merge \

--i-data trimedtable.qza
--i-data trimedtable2.qza
--p-overlap-method sum
--o-merged-table mergedtables.qza
--verbose
Usage: qiime feature-table merge [OPTIONS]

Combines feature tables using the overlap_method provided.

Inputs:
--i-tables ARTIFACTS... List[FeatureTable[Frequency]]
The collection of feature tables to be merged.
[required]
Parameters:
--p-overlap-method TEXT Choices('error_on_overlapping_sample',
'error_on_overlapping_feature', 'sum')
Method for handling overlapping ids.
[default: 'error_on_overlapping_sample']
Outputs:
--o-merged-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency]
The resulting merged feature table. [required]
Miscellaneous:
--output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory
--verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr during
execution of this action. Or silence output if
execution is successful (silence is golden).
--examples Show usage examples and exit.
--citations Show citations and exit.
--help Show this message and exit.

              There were some problems with the command:                  

(1/2?) no such option: --i-data
** (2/2?) no such option: --i-data**

Thanks.

Hi @TurboQiimer
I suspect the error is saying ‘–i-data’ option does not exist, and should be replaced by ‘–i-tables’ as reported in the error!
Cheers

Thanks @IIenzi
I mixed up with seq merging parameters.
