Qiime taxa barplot segmentation fault

[hughesd (David Hughes)]

qiime taxa barplot gives segmentation fault as follows:

(qiime2-2017.10) -bash-4.1$ qiime taxa barplot --i-table table.qza --m-metadata-file meta.txt --i-taxonomy taxonomy.qza --o-visualization taxa-bar-plots.qsv Segmentation fault (qiime2-2017.10)

Other taxonomic analysis works ok. Just the bar plot crashes. I suspect the taxonomy file, but cannot see anything wrong. Grateful for any suggestions.

Hello David,

That's strange! Did you get any other errors or clues about the cause?

Without more clues, my only other thought is to update to the newest version of Qiime 2 in which this bug may have been fixed.

Echoing what @colinbrislawn said - do you still see this issue if you upgrade to the latest version, QIIME 2 2018.2?

If so, what happens when you run the following:

python -c "import PyQt5.QtCore"

Thanks. I upgraded to QIIME2v2018.2, and happily the problem did not recur.
