Selecting the
file-path
format for a
string
type parameter in the Nextflow schema enables the user to browse all object storage buckets in the workspace with Data Explorer and dynamically select a bucket + object for the parameter value when launching the pipeline in Seqera.
Currently, when opening the Data Explorer file-path selector, the user is by default displayed
all object storage buckets accessible in the workspace
. It would be helpful to define a
file-path
parameter in the schema that defaults Data Explorer to open a specific object storage bucket + prefix (and optionally object):
{
"input": "s3://my-bucket-name/my-prefix"
}
or
{
"input": "s3://my-bucket-name/my-prefix/samplesheet.csv"
}
This allows a user to immediately select their samplesheet of choice rather than having to select and navigate deep into the specific object storage bucket and prefix.
