Hi, wasn't sure where to ask this since is regarding test data. I'm adding a new module and I would like to have a test case where I provide a directory as input, since the tool has that option (rather than having a file as input). I've been having trouble since it looks like test_data only supports individual files. Is there a way to stage a whole directory? Happy to provide more details as needed. TIA

Currently our workaround is to make a

tar.gz

archive that you upload and then use a

setup

block to unpack the directory and pass it to the module itself

I reckon you could also write some funky Groovy in the nf-test setup block, see e.g. https://github.com/sanger-tol/metagenomeassembly/blob/dev/tests/default.nf.test Download the files to a directory in

launchDir

manually, then pass the path to that directory. Might not be very “nf-core” though!

Oh and that ☝️

Thanks, I've followed the suggestion of using a

setup

block and the

UNTAR

module output
