Open in Gitpod

To Start Out

Run this workflow from GitPod: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/BioDepot/workflows-gitpod

Bwb auto-starts with Docker, please wait until Bwb starts before attempting to open Bwb. This will take about a minute. Once the terminal stops scrolling during the Docker install, click on the Ports tab above the terminal window which is right next to the Terminal tab. You should see a table with the following headers Port, Address, and State. There should be an entry in the table. Click on the URL that is the only entry in the Address column to open Bwb in a new browser tab. Alternatively, at the end of the Address column for the only entry, click on the globe icon, and this will open Bwb in a new browser tab.

Loading Workflows

Once Bwb has started, go to the File menu from the menu bar. From there click on Load Workflow. A new window will open and you can select a workflow. Click once on the workflow's folder that you plan to open and click the Choose button in the lower right corner. Once the workflow loads, double click the initial/start widget, and click the Start button that is in the lower left corner of the new window that opened. This will start the workflow.

The workflows included in this GitPod repository will run quickly and are perfect for a demo. If additional workflows are required, you can download them using the git package on GitPod. To do this, navigate to your GitPod workspace in browser, and click on the Terminal tab which is right next to Ports. If the terminal pane is running docker, you will need to open a new terminal tab. To do this, go right from the Ports tab to a large button that's a plus sign. Click on the plus sign and a new terminal tab will open giving you access to a new terminal where you can use git commands like git clone.

Helpful Notes

Resize Bwb Window - To auto resize the Bwb window in the browser, this will require editing the url in the address bar. If you're working on a workflow with changes, save the changes first as resizing will cause Bwb to reset. The current url should be something like this http://example_address/vnc.html?autoconnect=1, edit the address to http://example_address/?auto and press the enter key. After a few seconds Bwb will reload at the current size of your browser window.

Stop GitPod Instance - To stop the GitPod instance, click on the button that is three horizontal lines (hamburger button) in the upper left-hand corner of the browser window. This will bring up a drop-down menu. Click on the menu option that says Gitpod: Stop Workspace. This will stop the workspace. The same workspace can be relaunched by following this LINK, selecting the GitPod instance at the top, and opening it from the options button, which is 3 black dots stacked on top of each other. GitPod does not provide a good way of differentiating between instances besides showing which was most recently running.

Delete GitPod Instance - To delete a GitPod instance, got to this LINK. You will see a list of your most immediately opened GitPod instances. Click the options button, it is 3 black dots stacked on top of each other, which will be to the right of a GitPod instance. Click on the red Delete text that is displayed in the drop-down when clicking on the 3 black dots. You will be prompted with a new window, click the red button that says Delete Workspace.

Troubleshooting

Ports tab doesn't show - If the port tab doesn't show, there might be a conflict with browser plugins or other tabs open. Try restarting your browser and opening the GitPod instance without other tabs open.
