yarn run serve // starts the dev server
yarn run compile:electron // compiles electron backend
yarn run start:electron // opens the app shell

I run these command on MacOS ,but there is only blank page.

@wcc526 There is a dmg for macOS at https://github.com/rabix/composer/releases

@wcc526 Great to hear that you want to work on StackStorm & CWL! Please let me know how I can help mrc@commonwl.org ; note, I can't provide help with the Rabix Composer itself, alas

@mr-c now I'm trying to workon on StackStorm & WALKOFF. The WLAKOFF has a basic web ui.

@mr-c

@wcc526 Cool, I hadn't seen that one before. The interface reminds me of Galaxy

Is it possible to run rabix locally and have the tools, data and execution on a remote server? Adding a local project is easy, but I get the impression that the only way to do remote work is through one of seven bridges, cancer genomics cloud or cavatica?

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

Hi @tirohia no there is no way, or plan, to add integrations with other platforms for Rabix Composer. A planned release will add support for selectable CWL runners instead of rabix-executor. You could write a small stub that acts like a cwl-runner and invokes cloude resources and then you could do that. How to refer to cloud resources (files) is a different problem.

Ben

@tirohia

I'm not after a method to access a cloud platform - the data that I'm working with is belongs to indigenous populations and will never touch the cloud. We have a local server is all, that I'd like to have the workflows on. I tried running it from command line with X11 forwarding on, but that doesn't appear to work.

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

You would have to run the workflows separately using, say, toil or some other CWL executor. You could still develop the workflows using Rabix Composer by mounting a remote folder and pointing RC to that.

Ben

@tirohia

Thanks @kaushik-work, I'll try to work something out.

@djevo1_gitlab

@kaushik-work noticing some issues with the latest composer, mainly any workflow marked as v1.1 won't render.

And this error randomly appears

Model error: e.requirements.forEach is not a function

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

Hi @djevo1_gitlab we haven't released 1.1 support for Desktop Composer yet, unfortunately.

I think a lot of the work has been done, we have to push it, QA it and then create a release. I'm hoping we can bundle this with the custom executor support. I'm hoping we can get this done in July.

Evan Clark

@djevo1_gitlab

@kaushik-work Ok great, also benten is giving this error when previewing a 1.0 script: Command 'Benten: CWL preview' resulted in an error (Running the contributed command: 'cwl.show_graph' failed.)

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

@djevo1_gitlab that error also happened to me. Could you check if that happens to you for other plugins with a preview? I had a horrendous time with none of my plugin previews working. I still don't know how it resolved, but I got rid of my extensions directory and reinstalled VS Code and finally it came all back.

@djevo1_gitlab with my issue, it happened with the built in markdown preview too.

Evan Clark

@djevo1_gitlab

@kaushik-work the markdown preview works and that's the only other preview extension I have.

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

@djevo1_gitlab could you open an issue on the repo with details of your os, VS code and plugin version? Thank you!

@djevo1_gitlab I need to update the VS Code component anyway - it hasn't been touched in a while.

I'm on

@kaushik-work

@djevo1_gitlab I've published a new version of the extension, updating the dependencies. Please tell me if that solves your issue. It's been working fine on my end even with the old version.

Evan Clark

@djevo1_gitlab

@kaushik-work I just updated, have the same issue, will open a ticket

@HadleyKing

Hi all!
I am experimenting with the composer and had an issue. The example I am running through says to use the following:

requirements:
  - class: DockerRequirement
    dockerPull: biocontainers/bwa

but the docker pull fails unless I put the SPECIFIC tag desired in the line dockerPull: biocontainers/bwa:v0.7.17_cv1
I tried using dockerPull: biocontainers/bwa:latest as well and that failed. Is the tutorial outdated or is it a Docker issue or something else? I know I heard that Docker is changing things up...

Michael R. Crusoe

@mr-c

@HadleyKing What failure message do you get?

Probably best to use quay.io/biocontainers/bwa:0.7.8--hed695b0_5 instead

@TMiguelT Where can we send a PR to update https://www.melbournebioinformatics.org.au/tutorials/tutorials/cwl/media/#1 ?

Michael Milton

@TMiguelT

Haha that's a very old tutorial

But if you would like to, it's located at: https://www.github.com/melbournebioinformatics/MelBioInf_docs/tree/master/docs%2Ftutorials%2Fcwl

@HadleyKing

@mr-c the failure message is:

@TMiguelT I thought that that tutorial was VERY well done and it is a top hit for Google search so it would be worth maintaining IMO.

Michael Milton

@TMiguelT

Thank you both!

If the Composer gets updated I will also happily remove this workaround

Bruno Grande

@BrunoGrandePhD

I was given a CWL workflow with over 16,000 lines (after removing the sbg:* fields and collapsing long JS expressions to single lines), and I would like to visualize it. Its size is mostly because it's nested, i.e. sub-workflows are defined within the CWL file rather than using external references. I tried using Rabix Composer to visualize the workflow, but I can't seem to inspect the sub-workflows.

Does anyone here have suggestions on how to visualize a nested workflow in either Rabix Composer or another tool? Thanks in advance!

Bruno Grande

@BrunoGrandePhD

I tried using the "Benten: CWL preview" feature in the VS Code extension, but I ran into the following error:

Command 'Benten: CWL preview' resulted in an error (command 'cwl.show_graph' not found)

If folks here can confirm that they expect this cwl.show_graph command to work on nested workflows, then I can dig deeper to resolve this issue. Any pointers would be appreciated!

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

Hi @BrunoGrandePhD for Benten 1. It will handle nested workflows bu 2. Will only show the first level.

It should not generate any errors

@BrunoGrandePhD if you are using the latest versions of Benten and the VS Code extension, please open an issue in the repo, thanks!

@pvanheus

heya Rabix folks... I'm trying out Composer 1.5.0 ... but when I open a workflow it does not seem to use the namespaces I provided. I.e. I have

$namespaces:
  bio-cwl-tools: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/common-workflow-library/bio-cwl-tools/release/
  edam: http://edamontology.org/
  iana: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/
  lukasa: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pvanheus/lukasa/main/tools/
  s: http://schema.org/

but it wants to find lukasa:BLAH.cwl in my working directory. Is there a way to switch on HTTP/S link resolution?

and then a second question - which version of CWL does composer support at the moment?

Michael R. Crusoe

@mr-c

Might be better to use Benten + Visual Studio code..

pvanheus

@pvanheus

@mr-c that's what I normally use

but I thought I'd dive into the Composer world again to see how things are coming along

Kaushik Ghose

@kaushik-work

Hi @pvanheus Composer only supports CWL 1.0

pvanheus

@pvanheus

Ok thanks. The namespace thing does work with CWL 1.0 though, so I suspect that's another issue in Composer...
