From the checkout, install the plugin and runtime:
python -m pip install . transpiler-mate-runtime
The example tests/fixtures/workflow.cwl contains software metadata, a workflow
with a string input, and an echo tool producing a text file.
transpiler-mate cwl2rocrate --output build/definition --zip \
'tests/fixtures/workflow.cwl#hello'
Inspect build/definition/ro-crate-metadata.json and workflow.cwl. The crate
identifies the packed workflow as its main entity and describes its authors,
license, and version. build/definition.zip is ready to upload separately.
This example only runs the local echo command and needs no container:
cwltool --no-container --provenance build/provenance --outdir build/results \
'tests/fixtures/workflow.cwl#hello'
transpiler-mate cwl2rocrate --run build/provenance \
--output build/execution --zip 'tests/fixtures/workflow.cwl#hello'
The execution crate includes packed.cwl, the input document, the recorded
output payload (stored under its content hash), and metadata connecting workflow
and step actions to inputs and outputs. Both commands use the default message.
Run-profile validation is performed before the crate is published locally.
Use fresh output paths when repeating the tutorial. Publishing to WorkflowHub or an archive is a separate action.
