Pattern not matching in scaden simulate

[khkk378]

If I run scaden simulate --data somedir but also have files matching the pattern in the working dir I get the error No datasets found! Have you specified the pattern correctly?. In my case it was because I had the output from scaden example in the working dir.

Hi @khkk378 , thanks for reporting!

I'll have a look at it when I get around to it. In the meantime, could you specify a bit more what you have done?

I have the files somedir/foo_counts.txt and somedir/foo_celltypes.txt that I want to simulate from. I also have the files example_counts.txt and example_celltypes.txt. If I run scaden simulate --data somedir --pattern *_counts.txt I get the error. If I remove example_*.txt it works. I would assume that the pattern should be applied to the files in the --data dir.

Huh, interesting ... that's really odd indeed 🤔 will look into this and let you know!

You're right that the pattern should be applied the data in --data

Could you enclose the pattern in quotation marks, like '*_counts.txt' and try again, please?
