Support for local cwl workflow

Open IanMcDowell opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Is there a plan to support parsing of local cwl workflows? I ask because I need to keep certain workflows in private repos and this would be an obvious workaround.

I would also need that. Especially, it would be handy to have a simple API that allows to automate uploading of the cwl workflow (e.g. in the "packed" format or as zip/tar) and downloading of the visualization.

An alternative would be an offline solution as I recently suggested https://github.com/common-workflow-language/cwlviewer/issues/203.

Workflow visualization should be an integral part of every workflow run. Therefore, we need some automatization possibility.

This is especially crucial when you are creating cwl workflows dynamically e.g. with scriptCWL https://github.com/NLeSC/scriptcwl: you need to make sure that the workflow you were composing automatically is as intended (without browsing the code manually).
