How to specify a list of directory in InputWorkDirRequirement

CWL Questions
1

Hi, I am running in the following issue. I have a list of directory that I would like to modify as input.
To do so I add them in the InputWorkDirRequirement but for some reason it only works for a single directory.

This is my cwl workflow

    class: CommandLineTool
    cwlVersion: v1.1
    id: test_multiple_dir_input
    baseCommand:
      - /bin/bash
      - script.sh
    inputs:
      - id: msin
        type: 'Directory[]'
    outputs: 
      - id: std_out
        type: File
        outputBinding:
          glob: test_multiple_dir_input.log
    label: test_multiple_dir_input
    requirements:
      - class: DockerRequirement
        dockerPull: 'lofareosc/prefactor:HBAcalibrator'
      - class: InitialWorkDirRequirement
        listing:
          - entry: $(inputs.msin)
            writable: true
          - entryname: script.sh
            entry: | 
              #!/bin/bash
              ls -lR
              rm test1/dude.txt
      - class: InlineJavascriptRequirement
    stdout: test_multiple_dir_input.log

and this is my input file

{
    "msin": [{"class": "Directory", "path":"test1"}, {"class": "Directory", "path":"test2"}]
}

the directory listing is the following:

[15:10:07] mmancini:multiple_folders $ ls -lR test1 test2  
test1:
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mmancini mmancini 0 Feb 22 15:10 dude.txt

test2:
total 0

This is obviously a minimum snippet to recreate the problem.

To execute the workflow I am using cwltool with version 3.0.20210124104916

Not sure if its exactly the same problem but this sounds kinda similar to the issue I was having here;

You might be able to modify the solutions there to stage a directory of directories

Hello @matmanc

I am able to reproduce your result; can you open an issue at https://github.com/common-workflow-language/cwltool/issues/new ?
