Week 8. July 11 - July 17
On this week I have updated argparse2cwl
taking into account latest CWL upgrades.
Added an ability to generate tools with a new CWL syntax denoted by the map<> syntax. Example: inputs contains a list of items, each with an id. Now one can specify a mapping of that identifier by passing --map_ids
option along with --generate_cwl_tool
.
So,
inputs:
- id: one
type: string
doc: First input parameter
- id: two
type: int
doc: Second input parameter
will become
inputs:
one:
type: string
doc: First input parameter
two:
type: int
doc: Second input parameter
Regarding cwl2argparse
, I have added store_true/false
actions, choices
argument, and also made available CWL-to-Python conversion with mapped ids. The source code is available here.
The next week I start working on extending argparse2cwl
functionality to a more generic cmdline2cwl
tool by making available to generate CWL tools from programs which use click
or optparse
as their argument parser. As it was shown in a short statistics, it is also an actual task.
