GenPipes Wizard New

The GenPipes Wizard is an interactive command-line tool designed to guide users, especially beginners, through selecting the appropriate deployment method, pipeline, and protocol, and constructing the full command to run GenPipes. The Wizard works by asking a series of step-by-step questions.

How to Use the Wizard

Usage

To launch the GenPipes Wizard, run:

genpipes tools wizard

This will launch an interactive prompt where you can get help choosing a deployment option, pipeline and protocol and generate a ready-to-run GenPipes command.

Example Run

Note

Add example image once Wizard tool is finalized.

Wizard Command Options

The Wizard helps you construct a complete command to run GenPipes by asking a series of guided questions. It is designed to simplify the process for beginner users by focusing on the most commonly used options.

Currently, the Wizard supports generating commands with the following options:

-t: Protocol name

-c: Config INI-style list of files; config parameters are overwritten based on files order

-r: Readset file

-d: Design file

-p: Pair file

-j: Job scheduler type

-s: Step range to run (e.g. ‘1-5’, ‘3,6,7’, ‘2,4-8’)

-o: Output directory

-g: Commands for running the pipeline are output to this file path name. The data specified to pipeline command line is processed and pipeline run commands are stored in GENPIPES_FILE

Note

The Wizard does not support every possible GenPipes option.

For advanced or pipeline-specific options, refer to the Pipeline Reference Guide or run:

genpipes --help
List of unsupported options

  • -f, –force

  • –force_mem_per_cpu

  • –no-json

  • –json-pt

  • –report

  • –clean

  • -l

  • –sanity-check

  • –container

  • –wrap

  • -v, –version

Troubleshooting

Q: What if I selected the wrong option by mistake?

A: You can go back at any point during the wizard:

  • For selection-type questions, choose the “back” option from the list.

  • For input-type questions, type back and press Enter.
