Is there a straightforward way to group outputs from specific steps into different output directories? For example, say my workflow is something like trim → align → call variants → qc. I would like to group the results (and possibly intermediates) from each of those steps into separate directories with a structure like:
trim
- SAMPLE-ID
- Fastq1
- Fastq2
alignment
- SAMPLE-ID
- Final bam
- Intermediate bam
vc
- SAMPLE-ID
- Final VCF
- Intermediate VCF
qc
- SAMPLE-ID
- Trim QC report
- Align QC report
- Variant QC report
I’m aware of the --leave-outputs
option but that isn’t quite what I want. I’m transitioning from Nextflow to CWL and this output structure is very simple to achieve in Nextflow. I’m wondering if I’m overlooking some documentation for CWL that discusses this.
