Description
For the pipeline configuration side of the app, we want the app to be able to automatically detect available process and label names to configure, rather than relying on manually writing out the names.
Note: This is a lower-priority task and we don't intend on incorporating this until a later version of nf-core/tools.
Tasks
- Determine how we might achieve automatic process/label detection.
- For local pipelines, we might be able to search all
.nf files for process definitions and extract the process name and potential labels.
- For nf-core pipelines, would we have to pull the pipeline first and do the same thing? Or is there a better way?
- Start writing some methods for achieving this.
We'll be working on this issue at the 2026 hackathon Sydney hub
