MentaLiST :: test failure

[EricDeveaud]

Hello after installing Mentalist (cloned commit: fbfa6b8)

for MentaLiST installation I tried both julia/1.4.1 or julia/1.1.1 and got the same behaviour as displayed bellow

I tried to run the test runtests.jl an I have this error.

[gensoft@44c2b247019e test]$ julia runtests.jl

NB I am abble to run the first commands from the 'Basic Usage' notebook
aka:

mentalist -h
mentalist call -h 
mentalist list_pubmlst -h
mentalist list_pubmlst -p Campylobacter

runs smoothly and don't display any error

but

mentalist download_pubmlst -k 31 -o campy_mlst_fasta_files -s 28 --db campy_mlst.db

fail with followin error message

[gensoft@44c2b247019e test]$ mentalist download_pubmlst -k 31 -o campy_mlst_fasta_files -s 28 --db campy_mlst.db

as I am completly julia newbie I can't dig further in the code to try to understand the problem.
