Hi @Daniel_VM, I was thinking about making the newly introduced nf-test tests more reliable. The problem is, I exclude more and more files that appear unstable in their content (i.e. varying md5sum) and have to be excluded in

tests/.nftignore

. Possibly it would be better to use a positive list instead of a negative list? Would you have some key files in mind that are possibly stable?

I’m not entirely sure yet which outputs remain stable. A positive list could be a better approach to avoid the errors we got in the nf-tests... How about we open an issue to track this and iterate on this positive list? Also, just to confirm: are the unstable files you’re filtering the ones written to

out_dir

?

Yes, would be good, I try a little more and the I'll come back to this.

yes.
