Loading human/mouse bam files stopped working

[assaron]

I have troubles loading a bam file, which worked previously.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://igv.org/app/
2. Load bam file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n5QuNd_rAOfDCDPCwi5rc_-J6a2dgTyb/view?usp=drive_link and bai file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SUSi6LuGcsVUkZHxPPckDMSRa3AbaABj/view?usp=drive_link

Expect bam track to load, but nothing happens.

Here is the log from Firefox JS console:

Are you trying to load a bam file from the "Genome" menu?

[assaron]

Yes, sorry. I load from local files using Genome/Local file... menu. For hg38 genome (the default one).

[jrobinso]

The Genome menu is for loading genome definitions, use the Tracks menu to load tracks such as bam files.

[assaron]

Hah, that make sense, my bad!

I think what threw me off guard was that there was no changes and no errors, when I mistakenly did this. Could be nice to show an error to user that they are not loading a genome file.

[helgathorv]

It used to issue an error in that case. We'll look into that.

[turner]

I will look into why the error dialog does not appear.
