Test error during installation

[Former user]

Hello! I'm installing the MetaBat at Ubuntu 20.04 and at the point of make test I receive the following error:

 make test

All installation prerequisites are satisfied.

Please, advise how to overcome it.

I have no ideas as to why this might happen.

Can you post the contents of Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log?

The output for the failed test from Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log is :

4/4 Testing: runMetaBat.sh

The instruction I follow is:

cd ~/software
wget https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat/get/master.tar.gz
tar xzvf master.tar.gz
cd berkeleylab-metabat-*
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .. && make && make test && sudo make install
cd ~/software
rm -rf berkeleylab-metabat-* master.tar.gz

I am experiencing the same problem. I do not know what is happening. I am using Ubuntu 20.4.

Command: "/opt/berkeleylab-metabat-8b5702be9852/runMetaBat.sh" "/opt/berkeleylab-metabat-8b5702be9852/test/contigs.fa" "/opt/berkeleyla

<end of output>

Where should metabat2 be?

I think this is just an issue of the pathing of the tests under some circumstances.

I believe that this commit fixes it, at least when I can reproduce it:
