  • Add retry strategy for AWS megatests after releasing nf-core/tower-action v2.2
  • Added .nf-core.yml file with repository_type: pipeline for modules commands
  • Update igenomes path to the BWAIndex to fetch the whole version0.6.0 folder instead of only the genome.fa file

  • Call the command line help with -h as well as --help (was formerly just the latter) (#1404)
  • Add .yamllint.yml config file to avoid line length and document start errors in the tools repo itself.
  • Switch to yamllint-github-actionto be able to configure yaml lint exceptions (#1404)
  • Prevent module linting KeyError edge case (#1321)
  • Bump-versions: Don't trim the trailing newline on files, causes editorconfig linting to fail (#1265)
  • Handle exception in nf-core list when a broken git repo is found (#1273)
  • Updated URL for pipeline lint test docs (#1348)

Modules

  • New command nf-core modules info that prints nice documentation about a module to the terminal ✨ (#1427)
  • Linting a pipeline now fails instead of warning if a local copy of a module does not match the remote (#1313)
  • Fixed linting bugs where warning was incorrectly generated for:
    • Module does not emit software version
    • Container versions do not match
    • input: / output: not being specified in module
    • Allow for containers from other biocontainers resource as defined here
  • Fixed traceback when using stageAs syntax as defined here
  • Added nf-core schema docs command to output pipline parameter documentation in Markdown format for inclusion in GitHub and other documentation systems (#741)

  • Tweak handling of empty files when generating the test YAML (#1376)
    • Fail linting if a md5sum for an empty file is found (instead of a warning)
    • Don't skip the md5 when generating a test file if an empty file is found (so that linting fails and can be manually checked)
