Plugin error from demux: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

[komal (Komalk)]

Hello I imported my manifest file and got output as demux paired end. zip file

I ran the following command
qiime demux summarize --i-data /home/temp/Desktop/paired-end-demux.qza --o-visualization /home/temp/Desktop/paired-end-demux.qzv

Got following error
Plugin error from demux:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

I did try one the solution mentioned here on the forum by user thermokarst. However it did not work for me.

Kindly help

Hi @komal,

Thanks for reaching out! Do you mind sharing your demux file? I suspect it may be empty, which is why you're receiving that NoneType object error message.

Hi @komal,

Do you mind sharing the actual file so I can try to reproduce the error on my end? If you'd prefer to send via DM vs over this thread, that's perfectly fine.
