Thanks for posting this @heuermh Some more info would be useful though 😅 I am assuming you are running the dev version of the pipeline because that points to

viralrecon/main.nf

Line 3457 in 1779842

def smail_fields = [ email: email_address, subject: subject, email_txt: email_txt, email_html: email_html, projectDir: "$projectDir", mqcFile: mqc_report, mqcMaxSize: params.max_multiqc_email_size.toBytes() ]

as being the issue here. However, this is a little odd because the GitHub Actions CI tests are run in exactly the same way and passed on the last PR...

Yep, am still in investigation mode, dev from git HEAD fails for me on OSX (#143) but not on linux (which succeeds but notes this issue).

Ok. This is quite scary because the CI tests passed but do indeed show the same error you just reported https://github.com/nf-core/viralrecon/runs/1453984332#step:7:215 . Its because I changed the type of params.max_multiqc_email_size in nextflow.config from a Nextflow memory unit to a string to deal with standardising things for the new JSON schema 🤦

This is the fix by the way:
