Hi! I also had some issues because of missing input sheet file and maybe I can describe them to you, so that you can make up your mind about this feature.
The current --input approach does not work in certain scenarios. I have a directory structure where the directories (not files) are symlinks. It turns out that the NextFlow file(<glob regex>) function does not handle those cases correctly. You need to specify all files manually.
I also had a long list of directories with FASTQ files. I wanted to process only a subset of them. This was extremely difficult because the glob regex /some/path/*/*.fastq.gz matched all files and there is no easy way to select concrete directories.
input_paths parameter did work for me and solved the problem. However it is not documented. At first I missed it and had to manually change my environment to make the pipeline run.
To sum up, it would be really nice to have an input TSV file with the following example format:
ID R1 R2EXAMPLE_ID /example/path/data_R1.fastq.gz /example/path/data_R2.fastq.gz
Of course this would have to be documented so that users know about such a feature. NextFlow handles TSV format easily with the splitCsv(header: true, sep:'\t') operator.
Having some type of
--input
parameter and thus a sample sheet would be very nice 馃憤馃徎The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
