The wdl
family of crates consists of (a) a number of component crates (any
crate that is not explicitly wdl
) that are developed and versioned
independently, and (b) a convenience crate (the wdl
crate) that exists to ease
syncing compatible component crates versions. Component crates can be enabled
using features and are generally re-exported crates without the wdl-
(or
wdl_
) prefix.
This repository contains crates that can be used to work with WDL within your
own Rust projects—if you're looking for a command-line tool built on top of
these crates instead, you should check out sprocket
.
Most users should prefer selecting a version of the convenience crate and enabling features as they wish. For example,
cargo add wdl --features grammar
and then
use wdl::grammar;
You are free to include component crates directly. For example,
cargo add wdl_grammar
and then
use wdl_grammar;
Be aware, however, that versions between component crates are explicitly not compatible. In other words, if you choose not to use the convenience crate, it is not simple to derive which crate versions are compatible, and you'll need to manually sync those. We highly recommend using the convenience crate if you intend to use more than one component crate in conjunction.
The wdl
CLI tool provides commands to assist in the development of
the wdl
family of crates.
The wdl
CLI tool can be run with the following command:
cargo run --bin wdl --features binaries -- $ARGS
Where $ARGS
are the command line arguments to the wdl
CLI tool.
The wdl
CLI tool currently supports three subcommands:
parse
- Parses a WDL source file and prints both the parse diagnostics and the resulting Concrete Syntax Tree (CST).check
- Parses and validates a WDL source file. Exits with a status code of0
if the file is syntactically valid; otherwise, prints the validation diagnostics and exits with a status code of1
.lint
- Parses, validates, and runs the linting rules on a WDL source file. Exits with a status code of0
if the file passes all lints; otherwise, prints the linting diagnostics and exits with a status code of1
.
Each of the subcommands supports passing -
as the file path to denote reading
from STDIN instead of a file on disk.
To bootstrap a development environment, please use the following commands.
# Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:stjude-rust-labs/wdl.git
cd wdl
# Build the crate in release mode
cargo build --release
# List out the examples
cargo run --release --example
Before submitting any pull requests, please make sure the code passes the following checks (from the root directory).
# Run the project's tests.
cargo test --all-features
# Run the tests for the examples.
cargo test --examples --all-features
# Ensure the project doesn't have any linting warnings.
cargo clippy --all-features
# Ensure the project passes `cargo fmt`.
# Currently this requires nightly Rust
cargo +nightly fmt --check
# Ensure the docs build.
