SyntenyTrack not showing on browser
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
SyntenyTrack not showing after following the example in the combined guide to load a synteny track (https://jbrowse.org/jb2/docs/combined/)
To Reproduce
samtools 1.15.1
htslib 1.15.1
@jbrowse/cli/1.6.9 linux-x64 node-v14.18.3
minimap2 2.24-r1122
- Run the below commands:
jbrowse create local_jbrowse2 || (rm -rf local_jbrowse2 && jbrowse create local_jbrowse2)
samtools faidx grape.fasta
samtools faidx peach.fasta
minimap2 grape.fasta peach.fasta > peach_vs_grape.paf
jbrowse add-assembly grape.fasta --load copy --out local_jbrowse2 -n grape
jbrowse add-assembly peach.fasta --load copy --out local_jbrowse2 -n peach
jbrowse add-track peach_vs_grape.paf --assemblyNames peach,grape --out local_jbrowse2 --load copy
cd local_jbrowse2 && admin-server
- Go to the URL for jbrowse, add the query and target assemblies in the LinearSyntenyView:
Please note I am leaving the .paf URL blank as the .paf file is already uploaded in the script above. This leads to the below:

Expected behavior
I expect to see the red synteny track as below:
Version: 1.6.9, linux, installed with conda and running in docker, and accessed with Chrome

Thanks! Please dont close the ticket yet - I am busy uploading my jbrowse folder to google drive to share - have some difficulties still.
Glad you got it to work! I definitely agree that adding some more comprehensive tutorial steps using the GUI would be very helpful. I wanted to do videos and maybe webpage tutorials here #2448 !
