--help output when input requirements are not met
This was discussed in the cwltool-dev channel...
When starting a workflow and you failed to match the requirements it would be great if the extended output can be added after that error message.
For example:
Invalid job input record:
unlock/infrastructure/cwl/workflows/workflow_nanopore_assembly.cwl:122:3: Missing required input
parameter 'basecall_model'
Could be expanded with the complete --help output after that. In addition it could be nice if an * was shown after variables that are obligatory.
In addition, I also noticed it stops after the first requirement check that fails. When fixing that and you run it again it will give a new error of a missing variable. Adding the --help would help to some extend so the user can more easily see what is required but the check should if possible also check all requirements...
