varscan can't call a SNV

i can see a mutation in my bam file by IGV,but,when i use varscan to call it,i can't find enter image description here my cmd

samtools mpileup  -Q 20 -C 50 -q 20 -d 20000 -f ucsc.hg19.fasta  -l test.bed   bam/test.bam  >varscan/test.dedup.mpileup
java -jarVarScan.v2.3.9.jar   mpileup2snp  varscan/test.dedup.mpileup  --min-coverage 4 --min-reads2 2 --min-avg-qual 20 --min-var-freq 0.001 --min-freq-for-hom 0.9 --output-vcf 1 >varscan/test_snp.vcf

i have checked test.dedup.mpileup

grep chr17  varscan/test.dedup.mpileup|grep 37879657

enter image description here I'm confused why varscan no call it? or Is there any way to enter debug mode ?

any suggestions on ctDNA analysis are also appreciated,Thanks in advance,

varscan igv

--min-coverage 4? Or any other heuristic that kicks in here?

I tried many possibilities,even adjusted the threshold of p to a large value,I think that when there is more than one mutation in a pos, the software will not call itenter image description here out,it I encountered a similar situation again
