Fmriprep FileExistsError

IDR · April 15, 2020, 4:40pm

When I attempt to run fmriprep 1.5.0 I keep getting the following error:
FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/.cache/templateflow/tpl-fsaverage'

Can anyone shed light on what’s causing this error? I’ve made sure all the file it says already exists is not there before running. I ran using the same script and version of fmriprep a few months ago and did have this issue so I’m not sure what’s changed. In case it’s relevant, I’m running on an HPC with a singularify build. Thanks!

Hi. Were you able to fix this issue? I’m having the same problem. Thank you.

The likely case here is that you have multiple HPC jobs running at the same time, and both are trying to download the files needed. Have you had a look at Executing with Singularity - NiPreps?
