I ran SpectraST on your file with –V and it seems to show that it is not reading the precursor mz from you file somehow. All the precursormzs in the verbose output are 0. I peeked in the file and I do see precursor mzs in there, but I don’t know if they are encoded correctly.
Where did this mzXML file come from? *From:* spctools-discuss@googlegroups.com [mailto: spctools-discuss@googlegroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Hannes Roest *Sent:* Friday, October 20, 2017 3:15 PM *To:* spctools-discuss <spctools-discuss@googlegroups.com> *Subject:* Re: [spctools-discuss] spectrast produces empty output file Dear Eric Thanks for your analysis 1. I found that mzXML worked better with SpectraST and the mzML file did not work at all: $ spectrast -sLtestLib.splib spectra.mzML SpectraST started at Fri Oct 20 18:06:18 2017. Library File loaded: "testLib.splib". Total Number of Searches Performed = 0; Run Time per Search = inf seconds. Total Run Time = 2 seconds. SpectraST finished at Fri Oct 20 18:06:20 2017 without error. $ spectrast -sLtestLib.splib spectra.mzXML SpectraST started at Fri Oct 20 18:07:06 2017. Library File loaded: "testLib.splib". Sorting query spectra in all mzXML files by precursor m/z before searching...DONE! Searching...10%...20%...30%...DONE! Finished searching "spectra.mzXML" (3 spectra searched.) Output written to "/home/hr/openmsall/builds/openms/spectra.pep.xml". Total Number of Searches Performed = 3; Run Time per Search = 0.6667 seconds. Total Run Time = 2 seconds. SpectraST finished at Fri Oct 20 18:07:08 2017 without error. 2. Yes there are only two as comet did only find matches for 2 spectra. However, searching a library of 2 spectra against a file of 3 spectra should still work? 3. These are "MaxQuant compatible CR". I have removed those but without any change in result. Unfortunately.

The peptides are labeled (CID) when I they should be labeled (HCD) I assume? When creating the library, maybe -cIHCD would help? Just guessing 2) Unless I mis-count, there are only 2 spectra in the sptxt? 3) The mzML has some unusual carriage returns in the third spectrum. It could be causing some problem possibly.. I would investigate those first, but maybe it’s something else..

I have a spectral library and a corresponding mzXML file: $ spectrast -sLtestLib.splib spectra.mzXML SpectraST started at Fri Oct 20 16:43:54 2017. Library File loaded: "testLib.splib". Sorting query spectra in all mzXML files by precursor m/z before searching...DONE! Searching...10%...20%...30%...DONE! Finished searching "spectra.mzXML" (3 spectra searched.) Output written to "/home/hr/openmsall/builds/openms/spectra.pep.xml". Total Number of Searches Performed = 3; Run Time per Search = 1 seconds. Total Run Time = 3 seconds. SpectraST finished at Fri Oct 20 16:43:57 2017 without error. however, the resulting file spectra.pep.xml appears to be empty. Is there any reason for this or any parameter I can change to make this example work? Note that I generated the spectral library from that same mzXML file (searched with comet) and I expect that the spectra match perfectly, so I find an empty result file an unexpected outcome.
