(env) michael@dan:~/workshop$ cwltool make-instructions.cwl --numbers 1
/home/michael/workshop/env/bin/cwltool 1.0.20170309164828
Resolved 'make-instructions.cwl' to 'file:///home/michael/workshop/make-instructions.cwl'
invalid field `job_order`, expected one of: 'numbers'
Workflow error, try again with --debug for more information:
Invalid job input record:
the `numbers` field is not valid because
item is invalid because
`'1'` is not int
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure with make-instructions.cwl and the documented cwltool command, then locate the command-line input conversion path for int[] and float inputs. Add the requested regression test alongside the existing tests; done means valid numeric command-line values are accepted and the test passes.
