files_exist

PipelineLint.files_exist() → Dict[str, List[str]]

Checks a given pipeline directory for required files.

Iterates through the pipeline’s directory content and checks that specified files are either present or absent, as required.

Note

This test raises an AssertionError if neither nextflow.config or main.nf are found. If these files are not found then this cannot be a Nextflow pipeline and something has gone badly wrong. All lint tests are stopped immediately with a critical error message.

Note

You can configure the nf-core pipelines lint tests to ignore any of these checks by setting the files_exist key as follows in your .nf-core.yml config file. For example:

lint: : files_exist: : - assets/multiqc_config.yml
