rename output options
Currently the --output_vcf
parameter can only be the name of the file and not the full path (see https://github.com/IARCbioinfo/needlestack/blob/v1.1b/needlestack.nf#L505 and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nextflow/ctLboXGPdwI), and the path can be given using --output_folder
.
The rational was that the output also includes a PDF
folder. However this can be confusing as putting the path in output_vcf
is tempting. I propose to change the behaviour as follow:
--output_vcf
: is the path to the output vcf (e.g. my_vcf.vcf
or /path/to/my_vcf.vf
or ../my_vcf.vcf
)
--output_pdf
: is optional and is the folder where to store the PDF
folder (e.g. .
or /path/to/outfolder
). If absent, we put it in the same folder as the --output_vcf
folder (to be extracted from the it).
--output_folder
no longer exists.
Any objection or better idea?
