Runtime Warning: Mean of Empty Slice Error

Hello,
I’m getting an error when attempting to use the Deeptools python package. I used this as recently as yesterday with no issues. Now the tool “plotHeatmap” is returning this error: site-“packages/deeptools/heatmapper.py:1219: RuntimeWarning: Mean of empty slice”
Any advice on how to circumvent this? I’m getting large regions of just black on the heatmap. Ran identical code yesterday and didn’t see these black regions.
Thanks,
Ben

For reference, here is my code:

bed="/project/juddrice_462/bweekley/nChIP2/peaks/UP_HA_147.05_broad_noCtrl_fdr_0.1_peaks.broadPeak"
bed2="/project/juddrice_462/bweekley/nChIP2/peaks/Cs1Ctrl/UP_HA_147.05_broad_Cs1Ctrl_fdr_0.1_peaks.broadPeak"

@bweekley It sounds like this was related to the /project file system being down, which was fixed. Does the code work now?
