Sorting fails, 'trigger' pipeline continues

[bjhardcastle]

A couple of recent sessions sorted with SpikeInterface==0.99.1 have failed with the same error message, and it's not clear to me why (see output below).
I don't see the spikeinterface_log.json mentioned in the error message.

Unfortunately the trigger capsule continues despite the sorting capsule error and a data asset is created. The data are partially complete and it's not immediately obvious that sorting failed, so it's a bit annoying to have these data assets. They also contain a tmp folder with ~1 TB of raw data.

• debug sorting error
• re-sort sessions
• delete assets below with large tmp folders

Spike sorting failed. You can inspect the runtime trace in /code/../scratch/spikesorted_raw/experiment1_Record Node 104#Neuropix-PXI-100.ProbeF-AP_recording1/spikeinterface_log.json.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

@bjhardcastle are you using the "stable" capsule or the "aind" capsule?

For the registration of wrong results, we might parse the output to check for "Errors". There is no direct way to get the exit status

[bjhardcastle]

This was with capsule on the aind branch.
