RE: /tmp/ directory issues on local

Bill,


I'm runing your exact command with your exact filenames, and it's not reproducing your error (below). My best guess is something you-specific, like maybe you mistyped your input filename or your user doesn't have access to open that file. It doesn't seem to be an issue with your filenames, in your case.


Best,
Chris

Thanks Chris, re-naming the files to use dashes instead of periods fixed the issue!



Thanks for reporting back! I'm glad it was an easy workaround. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more issues or feedback. If there's anything I can do to make mri_reface more usable for TCIA and similar projects, I would do my best to make that happen.

Hello. I think I'm experiencing the same issue here: 


[panda_user@dom14044 mri_reface_docker]$ time ./run_mri_reface_docker.sh test/t1_2.nii test_t1/ -imType T1


Warning: ADIR_cp: the following warnings were produced:


> In ADIR_cp (line 171)


In ADIR_ReFace (line 271)


   cp: cannot open '/tmp/tmp.kufO28OHyS/inputs/t1_2.nii' for reading: Permission denied]

In my case, I can get pretty stripped down with the naming, but I'm still getting this ADIR_ReFace error. Oddly, this works on a T2 from the same session.

Any help would be much appreciated!


Thanks,


Bill
