NAME

BioX::Workflow - A very opinionated template based workflow writer.

SYNOPSIS

Most of the functionality can be accessed through the biox-workflow.pl script.

biox-workflow.pl --workflow /path/to/workflow.yml

This module was written with Bioinformatics workflows in mind, but should be extensible to any sort of workflow or pipeline.

Usage

Please check out the full Usage Docs at BioX::Workflow::Usage

Alternately, check out the github pages at http://jerowe.github.io/BioX-Workflow-Docs/showcase.html. This format may be easier to read.

In Code Documenation

You shouldn't really need to look here unless you have some reason to do some serious hacking.

Attributes

Moose attributes. Technically any of these can be changed, but may break everything.

comment_char

This should really be in BioX::Wrapper

workflow

Path to workflow workflow. This must be a YAML file.

rule_based

This is the default. The outer loop are the rules, not the samples

sample_based

Default Value. The outer loop is samples, not rules. Must be set in your global values or on the command line --sample_based 1

If you ever have resample: 1 in your config you should NOT set this value to true!

stash

This isn't ever used in the code. Its just there incase you want to persist objects across rules

It uses Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Hash and supports all the methods.

set_stash     => 'set',
get_stash     => 'get',
has_no_stash => 'is_empty',
num_stashs    => 'count',
delete_stash  => 'delete',
stash_pairs   => 'kv',

plugins

Load plugins as an opt

No GetOpt Here

attr

attributes read in from runtime

global_attr

Attributes defined in the global section of the yaml file

local_attr

Attributes defined in the rules->rulename->local section of the yaml file

local_rule

process

Our bash string

bowtie2 -p 12 -I {$sample}.fastq -O {$sample}.bam

key

Name of the rule

pkey

Name of the previous rule

Subroutines

Subroutines can also be overriden and/or extended in the usual Moose fashion.

run

Starting point.

init_things

Load the workflow, additional classes, and plugins

Initialize the global_attr, make the global outdir, and find samples

workflow_load

use Config::Any to load configuration files - yaml, json, etc

plugin_load

Load plugins defined in yaml or on command line with --plugins with MooseX::Object::Pluggable

class_load

Load classes defined in yaml with Class::Load

make_template

Make the template for interpolating strings

init_global_attr

Add our global key from config file to the global_attr, and then to attr

Deprecated: set_global_yaml

create_attr

Add attributes to $self-> namespace

eval_attr

Evaluate the keys for variables using Text::Template {$sample} -> SampleA {$self->indir} -> data/raw (or the indir of the rule)

If variables are themselves hashes/array refs, leave them alone

clear_attr

After each rule is processe clear the $self->attr

check_keys

There should be one key and one key only!

clear_process_attr

Clear the process attr

Deprecated: clear_process_vars

init_process_vars

Initialize the process vars

add_attr

Add the local attr onto the global attr
