nf-core

Has anyone ever had nf-test claim a snapshot had been rewritten when it hadn't

I have tried using `nf-test --updateSnapshot` directly and `nf-core modules test --update`

I am trying to update the snapshot on this PR

<https://github.com/nf-core/modules/pull/9748>

nf-test runs successfully with the updateSnapshot flag but no snapshot is created

To clarify, I can update other snapshots just fine

issue appears module specific :sweat_smile:

I answered on the PR, but the assertion isn't inside the snapshot, so nothing changed in the snapshot

<@U016SFULDB8> It was included in the test locally

and my experience was tests passing but snapshots not being written

Have been cleaning up some of the other topic versions PRs i created - will have a look at shovill again this week

thanks for all your reviews Simon and <@UQZG2UCF3> :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U016SFULDB8> OK so it took me far to long to realise that there was in fact no snapshot being created, I was conflating inclusion of the new versions capture in the `.test` with including it within a snapshot within the `.test`

I think part of the reason for this confusion is that nf-core test with --update it says things like 'generating nf-test snapshot to check stability' when in fact there is no snapshot being created in the first place
