So when
NXF_PLUGINS_DIR
isn't set, where does nextflow put the plugins? I looked here but didn't find any info on that. How about having
nextflow info
tell which plugins-folder nextflow is using?

I can’t remember where it’s documented but the default is
$NXF_HOME/plugins
(for which the default is
$HOME/.nextflow/plugins
)
Oh wait my question on this is literally above haha. And that’s where Phil pointed me to: docs They aren’t in the main docs, but Phil said he’s opening an issue to consolidate them

Ok, thanks. My
NXF_HOME
isn't set , but I do have a bunch of plugins in
$HOME/.nextflow/plugins
. I still think it would be nice if, say,
nextflow info
would tell me that it is indeed using the plugins from that folder. (On one of our systems we have several plugins-folders, and it can be difficult to figure out which one is being used.)

Open an issue! 😊 I think it could be a nice idea. Maybe put in an example of the output you'd like to see..
