I received the above error when attempting to launch and igv session via xml. I am using a user defined genome. I am not positive, but I believe the error is the result of the following lines in the xml:
<Track attributeKey="Reference sequence" clazz="org.broad.igv.track.SequenceTrack" fontSize="10" id="Reference sequence" name="Reference sequence" visible="true"/>
<Track altColor="0,0,178" attributeKey="RefSeq Genes" clazz="org.broad.igv.track.FeatureTrack" color="0,0,178" colorScale="ContinuousColorScale;0.0;373.0;255,255,255;0,0,178" fontSize="10" height="35" id="hg19_genes" name="RefSeq Genes" visible="true"/>
I have attached my preferences file, igv.log, proprty.txt, and genomes.txt files.
