Hi!

I am trying to run a pipeline GATK using the Snakemake. When I form the pipeline gradually, add one rule to the snakemake and the input/otput data are formed in stages, then such a problem does not arise.

But when I run this pipeline, I get the error:

A USER ERROR has occurred: Illegal argument value: Positional arguments were provided ',out_GatherBQSRReports/NSK9.normal.GatherBQSRReports.txt}' but no positional argument is defined for this tool.

and such snakemake error:

/gatk-4.1.9.0/gatk --java-options -Xmx7680m GatherBQSRReports -I -O out_GatherBQSRReports/NSK9.normal.GatherBQSRReports.txt (one of the commands exited with non-zero exit code; note that snakemake uses bash strict mode!)
