DICAST GUI crashes when clicking "Select custom Snakefile"

[KarmaChild]

Hello,

I'm very new to DICAST and I'm trying to run the GUI, after selecting the working directory, when I press the "Browse" button to select the custom Snakefile, the GUI immediately crashes with this message -

(base) adi@Adithyas-Air DICAST % conda activate dicast-snakemake
(dicast-snakemake) adi@Adithyas-Air DICAST % python gui/dicast.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/adi/opt/DICAST/gui/dicast.py", line 58, in
self.snake_button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.set_snake_file(self.select_snakefile_label))
File "/Users/adi/opt/DICAST/gui/dicast.py", line 354, in set_snake_file
self.custom_snakefile_full_path = on_button_get_file_path_clicked(label, self.wd_folder_full_path)
File "/Users/adi/opt/DICAST/gui/dicast_config_setter.py", line 67, in on_button_get_file_path_clicked
dialog = FileDialog(True)

self.forward_button.blockSignals(True)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'blockSignals'

Would appreciate your help a lot! Thanks!

Sorry, K,

https://dicast.readthedocs.io/en/master/get-started/run/gui.html
shows that this approach is depreciated. If you must use it, please consider the solutions here:

I would recommend using the tried and tested approach:
https://dicast.readthedocs.io/en/master/get-started/run/dicast-cli.html.

Alternatively, if you think you may not need simulations or all of the pipeline, you could use this approach:

Best wishes,
