Description

Description of feature

currently .yaml config parsing/splitting into multiple yamls happens in a python process, we would like this to happen in groovy for multiple reasons :

  • python programs do not use .yaml files, this is specific to the nextflow pipeline
  • would not require stimlus-py container to split .yaml files
  • more in line with nf-core/nextflow philosophy

Research direction

Locate the current Python process that parses and splits .yaml files, then find where the Nextflow pipeline puts the resulting files into channels. The work is done when equivalent parsing and splitting happens in Groovy without requiring the stimlus-py container.
