Distribution?

[afaulconbridge]

I want to run these via CI on a repository of Nextflow scripts.

But as far as I can tell, there is no distribution of built artefacts suitable for use in that way? I'll have to make that myself?

What form of distribution would you need? Would you be able to use a container image similar to this one?https://github.com/awslabs/linter-rules-for-nextflow/blob/main/Dockerfile

For my use case, a GItHub Action like the ones in https://github.com/aws-actions would be ideal.

A close second is a container image built from the Dockerfile that already exists, in a public repository. Then I can use it where I need to in my own Actions.

A pre-built .jar that can be downloaded (similar to the ones for CodeNarc and SLF4J implementation mentioned in the readme) would also be helpful, to use in existing images such as devcontainers.

There is a public container at https://gallery.ecr.aws/aws-genomics/linter-rules-for-nextflow

A jar can be built from the source with ./gradlew jar but it won't contain the other dependencies, hence this section of the Dockerfile:

RUN wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codenarc/CodeNarc/3.3.0/CodeNarc-3.3.0-all.jar && \
    wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/1.7.36/slf4j-api-1.7.36.jar && \
    wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/slf4j/slf4j-simple/1.7.36/slf4j-simple-1.7.36.jar

I can add the jar (without dependencies) to https://github.com/awslabs/linter-rules-for-nextflow/releases/tag/v0.1.0 if that helps.

The linter rules jar is now included in https://github.com/awslabs/linter-rules-for-nextflow/releases/tag/v0.1.0 as is the ast-echo although you probably don't need that one.

Great, many thanks!

Perhaps you could add a link to https://gallery.ecr.aws/aws-genomics/linter-rules-for-nextflow in the readme? I checked Docker Hub and couldn't see anything, but wasn't familiar enough with https://gallery.ecr.aws to think of looking there.

Good idea!
