Testing a Víðarr Workflow Locally

To test a Víðarr workflow locally, ensure that you satisfy these requirements:

• Make sure the .sh file created from the instructions provided in the Creating a Development Environment step points to the jars you created in the Installing Víðarr on a Linux Instance step.
• Use the JSON config file generated during that step in the configuration argument of your command.
  • Update the "url" block to a URL representing your environment, and the "cromwellUrl" block to your cromwell server’s REST API.
• Follow the steps outlined in Testing Workflows to compose a regression test file. This file will be used in the test argument of your command.
  • Another option is to use the JSON test file from the empty repository.
    • Change the "metrics_calculate", "metrics_compare", and "output_metrics" blocks to your local files cloned from the empty repository.
    • The "configuration" block can point to any local empty text file.
• Follow the steps from the vidarr-tools README.md to create a local v.out file that will be used in the workflow argument of your command.

Finally, you have all the necessary files to test a Víðarr workflow locally, and you can run it using this command: ./path/to/.sh_file test --configuration=path/to/config_file --test=path/to/test_file --workflow=path/to/workflow_file
