Another big release with lots of new features and bug fixes. Thanks to all contributors!

🌟 Highlights

  • New nf-core subworkflows subcommand for creating, removing, testing, updating and finding subworkflows, see the documentation for more information.
  • Every pipeline has now it's own GitHub codespace template, which can be used to develop the pipeline directly in the browser.
  • Improved handling of modules and subworkflows from other repos than nf-core/modules.
  • Pre-commit is now installed as a dependency, which allows us, besides other things, to run prettier on the fly even if it is not manually installed.
  • Shell completion for nf-core commands, more information here.

Template

Features

  • Ignore files in bin/ directory when running prettier (#2080).
  • Add GitHub codespaces template (#1957)
  • nextflow run <pipeline> --version will now print the workflow version from the manifest and exit (#1951).
  • Add profile for running docker with the ARM chips (including Apple silicon) (#1942 and #2034).
  • Flip execution order of parameter summary printing and parameter validation to prevent 'hiding' of parameter errors (#2033).
  • Change colour of 'pipeline completed successfully, but some processes failed' from red to yellow (#2096).

Bug fixes

  • Fix lint warnings for samplesheet_check.nf module (#1875).
  • Check that the workflow name provided with a template doesn't contain dashes (#1822)
  • Remove CITATION.cff file from pipeline template, to avoid that pipeline Zenodo entries reference the nf-core publication instead of the pipeline (#2059).

Linting

Features

  • Add --sort-by option to linting which allows ordering module lint warnings/errors by either test name or module name (#2077).

Bug fixes

  • Don't lint pipeline name if manifest.name in .nf-core.yml (#2035)
  • Don't check for docker pull commands in actions_ci lint test (leftover from DSL1) (#2055).

  • Refactor CLI flag --hide-progress to be at the top-level group, like --verbose (#2016)
  • nf-core sync now supports the template YAML file using -t/--template-yaml (#1880).
  • The default branch can now be specified when creating a new pipeline repo #1959.
  • Only warn when checking that the pipeline directory contains a main.nf and a nextflow.config file if the pipeline is not an nf-core pipeline #1964
  • Bump promoted Python version from 3.7 to 3.8 (#1971).
  • Extended the chat notifications to Slack (#1829).
  • Don't print source file + line number on logging messages (except when verbose) (#2015)
  • Automatically format test.yml content with Prettier (#2078)
  • Automatically format modules.json content with Prettier (#2074)
  • Add shell completion for nf-core tools commands(#2070)
