Summary: ChimeraX bug report submissionBoltz subprocess: Access is denied

Reported by Anthony Gizzi

comment:2 by Tom Goddard, 4 months ago

This "Access is denied" error from Windows is happening when ChimeraX tries to run Boltz as a subprocess. ChimeraX tries to create the Boltz input file in a new folder it makes ~/Desktop/boltz_<prediction_name>. Was that folder created? I see in the log a reference to OneDrive, the Microsoft cloud desktop which replaces your local ~/Desktop folder. My guess is that is the problem. ChimeraX tries to start Boltz in that newly created folder ~/Desktop/boltz_<prediction_name> but probably OneDrive has either hidden the local Desktop or made it unusable and that causes the "Access is denied".

If my theory is right you should press the Options button on the ChimeraX Boltz tool and enter a new Results Directory that is not in ~/Desktop. Alternatively you could turn off OneDrive so the local ~/Desktop location works.

Thank you very much for your input. I'll give this a try.

Many thanks,

Perhaps using a different boltz results directory worked. No response from reporter.
