<div dir="ltr">Hi Jan,<div><br></div><div>If you add the flag --no_adaptor_cache to your command it should work OK.</div><div><br></div><div>This has been fixed in a newer version of VEP, but I guess you're tied to 74.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Will</div><div><br></div><div>More info: it's not the version of Storable that is the issue, it's that Storable is trying to serialise a DBI object that has an active connection to the database. The VEP's serialisation code takes care of this by disconnecting from the DB before the object gets serialised, but in this case it doesn't work (and FWIW caching in the adaptors is no longer necessary anyway, this behaviour should have been made the default way before 74).</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 March 2015 at 05:55, Jan Vogel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jan.vogel@gmail.com" target="_blank">jan.vogel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hello Ensembl and Will,</div><div><br></div><div>I’m running into trouble when I am trying to <b>create / update my cache files</b> for VEP. </div><div><br></div><div>My best guess currently is, that the problem is either related to the ensembl code, or related to storing references with <b>Storable.pm</b> - I’m using version <b>$VERSION = ‘2.41’ of this module.</b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Here’s how to reproduce the error :</b></div><div><br></div><div><div><font face="Menlo">perl ensembl-tools-release-74/scripts/variant_effect_predictor/<a href="http://variant_effect_predictor.pl" target="_blank">variant_effect_predictor.pl</a> \</font></div><div><font face="Menlo"> -build all -dir tmp --verbose --host <HOST> --user <USER> --pass <SECRET> --port 3326</font></div></div><div><font face="Menlo"><br></font></div><div><font face="Menlo">ERROR: </font></div><div><font face="Menlo"><br></font></div><div><div style="font-family:Menlo">2015-03-02 20:56:27 - Connected to core version 74 database and variation version 74 database</div><div style="font-family:Menlo"><br></div><div style="font-family:Menlo">Can't store CODE items at …/perl/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-2.6-rhel6/lib/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Storable.pm line 304, at </div><div style="font-family:Menlo">variant_effect_predictor/e74_api/ensembl-variation-release-74/modules/Bio/EnsEMBL/Variation/Utils/VEP.pm line 4261.</div><div style="font-family:Menlo"><br></div><div style="font-family:Menlo"><br></div><div>So reading trough <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/Storable.html#CODE-REFERENCES" target="_blank">http://perldoc.perl.org/Storable.html#CODE-REFERENCES</a> suggests to serialize code-references with B::Deparse.
