I had a thought yesterday. It’s a minor addition, but I think it’d be useful: adding a check at the end of the pipeline to verify if the Nextflow plugins are up to date what do you think?

mabye something for

nextflow lint

?

Arguably end of the pipeline run would be too late though? Maybe with a config option to stop pipeline running if they are out of date, and print the plugins in that case?

maybe a bit aggressive

Yeah, thus the config option

hahahah yep

😬

Will review lint (didnt use it before) Also I'm thinking the ckeck needs to be against the nextflow running version (maybe it isnt very util to know there is a new version of a plugin if I'm using an incompatible version of nextflow) Thanks for your comments

I am thinking about having it in the linting because this is more something relevant for a pipeline developer vs pipeline user

There is a

nextflow plugins

command group, so could also have dedicated commands for this
