Hi all
I got this error in demultiplexing my data by using following command:
= qiime tools import **

--type EMPPairedEndSequences **

--input-path emp-paired-end-sequences **

--output-path emp-paired-end-sequences.qza

Demultiplexing

qiime demux emp-paired **

--m-barcodes-file sample-metadata.tsv **

--m-barcodes-column barcode-sequence **

--p-rev-comp-mapping-barcodes **

--i-seqs emp-paired-end-sequences.qza **

--o-per-sample-sequences demux.qza **

--o-error-correction-details demux-details.qza

Plugin error from demux: Plugin error from demux: Golay decoding requires 12nt barcodes. The barcode attempting to be decoded (GAGTACAG) is of length 8nt.
i tried --p-no-golay-error-correction** in command but not working

Hi @mimran766,
Welcome to the forum!
It doesn't look like you have Golay barcodes, so you are right to include the --p-no-golay-error-correction parameter, however I think this might just be a case of incorrect syntax. Note that you need to include a space between the word correction on that new line and the character \ that signals a new line.
