seqkit handles empty files inconsitently

[nr0cinu]

Hi!

seqkit exits with 1 when getting an empty file. I use seqkit in scripts and makefiles, and sometimes the fasta files processed are empty and imho they should be treated like any file containing sequences.

seqkit also handles empty files and files just contain one newline differently:

$ touch file.fasta; seqkit seq file.fasta; echo $?
2018/08/01 11:34:36 EOF
1
$ echo > file.fasta; seqkit seq file.fasta; echo $?
0

Would be nice if the first command would exit with 0 without any messages? or to have a flag to enable this behaviour?

Thanks :)

Hi Bela,

Thanks for reporting this. It's fixed now, you can try the dev version: v0.8.2-dev.

Tell me if you have more questions.
