BLAST did not run as expected

Hi,

I’m trying to run ResFinder locally following thoroughly your protocol but once I try to run the script on the test.fsa as a test I’ve got the following error:

‌

\> python3 resfinder.py -i test.fsa -o Results -p resfinder_db -mp blastn.exe -d aminoglycoside -t 0.90 -l 0.60

Error: BLAST did not run as expected. The expected output file, ...\Results\tmp\out_aminoglycoside.xml, did not exist.
BLAST finished with the following response:

BLAST query/options error: ''5'' is not a valid output format
Please refer to the BLAST+ user manual.

‌

However, if I download the “out_aminoglycoside.xml“ from https://bitbucket.org/genomicepidemiology/resfinder/issues/8/aph-3-1b-not-shown and copy it in \Results\tmp the script is working (only for aminoglycoside). Could you please help me solving this issue?

Thanks in advance
