better error messages for empty results list

[bgruening]

I assume the following traceback is due to the fact that there are no BLAST results.
An improved error message could help here to guide the user

Thanks so much for reporting @bgruening . Your assessment makes sense. A better error message would be useful here 😄

I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Thanks @apetkau!

I can't seem to recreate this error in the newest version (38f24ad). Let me know if you want to me to try with the same data that gave you the error.

Example with BLAST Results:

rm -rf out-blast out-sum
staramr search --output-hits-dir out-blast --output-summary out-sum staramr/tests/integration/data/16S_gyrA_beta-lactam.fsa

Output Summary (out-sum):

Isolate ID      Quality Module  Genotype        Predicted Phenotype     Plasmid Scheme  Sequence Type   Genome Length   N50 value       Number of Contigs Greater Than Or Equal To 300 bp       Quality Module Feedback

BLAST Output (out-blast/):

ls -l out-blast/
total 0

And there was no error message.
