I want to test a newly written function, but I need the output of a process to test it. Anyone any ideas how to fix this?

setup

blocks don’t seem to be supported for

nextflow_function

Can you test a function in the same script as a process?

not sure how 🤔 Run the function in the assert block?

I meant having a separate script just for the function block

Ah, I don’t think there’s an issue with the actual location of the code 🤔

Sadly,

setup

is not supported in function testing, even though it is possible to use the same way. It just needs to be added. Please make an issue for this 😉

see original post 😉

ah man I'm blind 😅

Why exactly do you need the output of a process to test a function? The output of a process is just a channel no? And what stops you just manually setting up that channel?

because I need the process outputs 🤷🏻
