commandArgs (position and named args)This tutorial assume you have basic knowledge about Docker concept.
Note: Right now we are supporting CWL draft 2 with SBG extension, but we will support CWL v1.0 soon.
In our terminology, a workflow is composed of one or more tool, both of them are just app to users. You can imagine some raw input data go through a pipeline with many nodes that each step perform a function on the data in the flow, and in the end, you got want you want: a fully processed data or result (plot, report, action).
Here are some key ideas:
Looks like full of jargons and hard to understand. Here is an example. You have a csv table, full of missing value and you want to process it in 3 steps:
You can describe each step into a single module or tool then connect them one by one to form a flow. You can put everything into one single “tool”, then downside is that other user cannot use your step1 for missing value problem. So it’s both art and sciense to leverage between flexibility and efficiency.
Why we are using CWL? Imagine a single file represeting a tool or workflow, could be executed anywhere in a reproducible manner and you don’t have to install anything because Docker container is imaged, that’s going to change the world of computational scientific research and how we do research and publish results. In this package we are trying to hide CWL details as much as possible, so user can just use it like a typical R function.
Tool is the basic unit, and also your “lego brick” you usually start with. As developer you also want to provide those “lego” piecies to users to directly run it or make their own flow with it.
The main interface provided by sevenbridges package is Tool function, it’s much more straight forward to describe than composing your raw CWL JSON file from scratch. A “Tool” object in R could be exported into JSON or imported from a CWL JSON file.
I highly recommend going over documentation The Tool Editor chapter for the Cancer Genomics Cloud to understand how it works, and even try it on the platform with the GUI. This will help understand our R interface better.
Sometimes people share Tool in pure JSON text format. You can simply load it into R by using convert_app function, this will recognize your JSON file class (Tool or Workflow) automatically.
library("sevenbridges")
t1 = system.file("extdata/app", "tool_star.json", package = "sevenbridges")
# # convert json file into a Tool object
t1 = convert_app(t1)
# # try print it yourself
# t1In this way, you can load it, revise it, use it with API or edit and export it back to JSON file. However, in this tutorial, the most important thing is that you learn how to desribe it directly in R.
We provide couple utitlities to help construct your own CWL tool quickly in R. For all availale utiles please check out help("Tool")
Some utiles you will find it useful when you execute a task, you need to know what is the input type and what is the input id and if it’s required or not, so you can execute the task with parameters it need. Try play with input_matrix or input_type as shown below.

fl <- "inst/docker/rnaseqGene/rabix/rnaseqGene.json"
write(rbx$toJSON(pretty = TRUE), fl)Now let’s break it down:
Some key arguments used in Tool function.
cpu, mem, docker, fileDef; and you can easily construct them via requirements() constructor. This is how you describe the resources you need to execute the tool, so the system knows what type of instances suit your case best.To specify inputs and outpus, usually your command line interface accept extra arguments as input, for example, file(s), string, enum, int, float, boolean. So to specify that in your tool, you can use input function, then pass it to the inputs arguments as a list or single item. You can even construct them as data.frame with less flexibility. input() require arguments id and type. output() require arguments id because type by default is file.
There are some special type: ItemArray and enum. For ItemArray the type could be an array of single type, the most common case is that if your input is a list of files, you can do something like type = ItemArray("File") or as simple as type = "File..." to diffenciate from a single file input. When you add “…” suffix, R will know it’s an ItemArray.
We also provide an enum type, when you specify the enum, please pass the required name and symbols like this type = enum("format", c("pdf", "html")) then in the UI on the platform you will be poped with drop down when you execute the task.
Now let’s work though from simple case to most flexible case.
If you already have a Docker image in mind that provide the functionality you need, you can just use it. The baseCommand is the command line you want to execute in that container. stdout specify the output file you want to capture the standard output and collect it on the platform.
In this simple example, I know Docker image rocker/r-base has a function called runif I can directly called in command line with Rscript -e. Then I want the ouput is collected in stdout and ask the file system to capture the files matches “*.txt“. Please pay attention to this, you tool may produce many intermediate files in current folder, if you don’t tell which output you need, they will all be ignored, so make sure you collect those files via outputs parameter.

You just want to run your script with new input files in existing container, it’s time to introduce fileDef. You can either directly write script as string or just import a R file to content. And provided as requirements.
# Make a new file
fd <- fileDef(name = "runif.R",
content = "set.seed(1)
runif(100)")
# read via reader
.srcfile <- system.file("docker/sevenbridges/src/runif.R", package = "sevenbridges")
library("readr")
fd <- fileDef(name = "runif.R",
content = read_file(.srcfile))
# add script to your tool

hints = requirements(docker(pull = "rocker/r-base")),
requirements = requirements(fd),
baseCommand = "Rscript runif.R",
stdout = "output.txt",
outputs = output(id = "random", glob = "*.txt"))How about multiple script?
# or simply readLines
.srcfile <- system.file("docker/sevenbridges/src/runif.R", package = "sevenbridges")
library("readr")
fd1 <- fileDef(name = "runif.R",
content = read_file(.srcfile))
fd2 <- fileDef(name = "runif2.R",
content = "set.seed(1)
runif(100)")
rbx <- Tool(id = "runif_twoscript",
label = "runif_twoscript",
hints = requirements(docker(pull = "rocker/r-base")),
requirements = requirements(fd1, fd2),
baseCommand = "Rscript runif.R",
stdout = "output.txt",
outputs = output(id = "random", glob = "*.txt"))All those examples above, many parameters are hard-coded in your script, you don’t have flexiblity to control how many numbers to generate. Most often, your tools or command line tools expose some inputs arguments to users. You need a better way to describe a command line with input/output.
Now we bring the example to next level, for example, I prepare a Docker image called “tengfei/runif” on Docker Hub, this container has a exeutable command called “runif.R”, you don’t have to know what’s inside, you only have to know when you run the command line in that container it looks like this
runif.R --n=100 --max=100 --min=1 --seed=123This command outpus two files directly, so you don’t need standard output to capture random number.
So the goal here is to describe this command and expose all input parameters and collect all two files.
To define input, you can specify
Output is similar, espeicaly when you want to collect file, you can use glob for pattern matching.
# pass a input list
in.lst <- list(input(id = "number",
description = "number of observations",
type = "integer",
label = "number",
prefix = "--n",
default = 1,
required = TRUE,
cmdInclude = TRUE),
input(id = "min",
description = "lower limits of the distribution",
type = "float",

input(id = "seed",
description = "seed with set.seed",
type = "float",
label = "seed",
prefix = "--seed",
default = 1))
# the same method for outputs
out.lst <- list(output(id = "random",
type = "file",
label = "output",
description = "random number file",
glob = "*.txt"),
output(id = "report",
type = "file",

rbx <- Tool(id = "runif",
label = "Random number generator",
hints = requirements(docker(pull = "tengfei/runif")),
baseCommand = "runif.R",
inputs = in.lst, # or ins.df
outputs = out.lst)Alternatively you can use data.frame as example for input and output, but it’s less flexible.
in.df <- data.frame(id = c("number", "min", "max", "seed"),
description = c("number of observation",
"lower limits of the distribution",
"upper limits of the distribution",
"seed with set.seed"),
type = c("integer", "float", "float", "float"),
label = c("number" ,"min", "max", "seed"),
prefix = c("--n", "--min", "--max", "--seed"),

baseCommand = "runif.R",
inputs = in.df, # or ins.df
outputs = out.df)commandArgs (position and named args)Now you must be wondering, I have a Docker container with R, but I don’t have any existing command line that I could directly use. Can I provide a script with a formal and quick command line interface to make an App for existing container. The anwser is yes. When you add script to your tool, you can always use some trick to do so, one popular one you may already head of is commandArgs. More formal one is called “docopt” which I will show you later.
Suppose you have a R script “runif2spin.R” with three arguments using position mapping
numbersminmaxMy base command will be somethine like
Rscript runif2spin.R 10 30 50This is how you do in your R script
fl <- system.file("docker/sevenbridges/src", "runif2spin.R",
package = "sevenbridges")
cat(readLines(fl), sep = "\n")#' ---

args = commandArgs(TRUE)
r = runif(n = as.integer(args[1]),
min = as.numeric(args[2]),
max = as.numeric(args[3]))
head(r)
summary(r)
hist(r)Ignore the comment part, I will introduce spin/stich later.
Then just describe my tool in this way, add your script as you learned in previous sections.

Rscript runif_args.R --n=10 --min=30 --max=50Here is how you do in R script.

You can use spin/stich from knitr to generate report directly from a Rscript with special format. For example, let’s use above example

cat(readLines(fl), sep = '\n')#' ---

output(id = "random", type = "file", glob = "*.csv"),
output(id = "report", type = "file", glob = "*.html")))You will get a report in the end.
Inherit metadata and additional metadata
Sometimes if you want your output files inherit from particular input file, just use inheritMetadataFrom in your output() call and pass the input file id. If you want to add additional metadata, you could pass metadata a list in your output() function call. For example, I want my output report inherit all metadata from my “bam_file” input node (which I don’t have in this example though) with two additional metadata fields.
out.lst <- list(output(id = "random",
type = "file",
label = "output",
description = "random number file",
glob = "*.txt"),
output(id = "report",
type = "file",
label = "report",
glob = "*.html",
inheritMetadataFrom = "bam_file",
metadata = list(author = "tengfei",
sample = "random")))

Input node batch mode
Batch by File (the long output has been omitted here):
f1 = system.file("extdata/app", "flow_star.json", package = "sevenbridges")
f1 = convert_app(f1)
f1$set_batch("sjdbGTFfile", type = "ITEM")Batch by other critieria such as metadta, following example, is using sample_id and library_id (the long output has been omitted here):
f1 = system.file("extdata/app", "flow_star.json", package = "sevenbridges")
f1 = convert_app(f1)
f1$set_batch("sjdbGTFfile", c("metadata.sample_id", "metadata.library_id"))criteria provided, convert type from ITEM to CRITERIAWhen you push your app to the platform, you will see the batch available at task page or workflow editor.
Note: The GUI Tool Editor on Seven Bridges Platform is more conventient for this purpose.
Yes, you could use the same function convert_app to import JSON files.
f1 = system.file("extdata/app", "flow_star.json", package = "sevenbridges")

To create a workflow, we provide simple interface to pipe your tool into a single workflow, it works under situation like
Note for complicated workflow construction, I highly recommend just use our graphical interface to do it, there is no better way.
Let’s create tools from scratch to perform a simple task
library("sevenbridges")
# A tool that generates 100 random numbers
t1 <- Tool(id = "runif new test 3", label = "random number",
hints = requirements(docker(pull = "rocker/r-base")),
baseCommand = "Rscript -e 'x = runif(100); write.csv(x, file = 'random.txt', row.names = FALSE)'",
outputs = output(id = "random",
type = "file",
glob = "random.txt"))
# A tool that takes log
fd <- fileDef(name = "log.R",
content = "args = commandArgs(TRUE)
x = read.table(args[1], header = TRUE)[,'x']
x = log(x)
write.csv(x, file = 'random_log.txt', row.names = FALSE)
")
t2 <- Tool(id = "log new test 3", label = "get log",
hints = requirements(docker(pull = "rocker/r-base")),
requirements = requirements(fd),
baseCommand = "Rscript log.R",
inputs = input(id = "number",
type = "file"),
outputs = output(id = "log",
type = "file",
glob = "*.txt"))
# A tool that do a mean
fd <- fileDef(name = "mean.R",
content = "args = commandArgs(TRUE)
x = read.table(args[1], header = TRUE)[,'x']
x = mean(x)
write.csv(x, file = 'random_mean.txt', row.names = FALSE)")
t3 <- Tool(id = "mean new test 3", label = "get mean",
hints = requirements(docker(pull = "rocker/r-base")),
requirements = requirements(fd),
baseCommand = "Rscript mean.R",
inputs = input(id = "number",
type = "file"),
outputs = output(id = "mean",
type = "file",
glob = "*.txt"))
f = t1 %>>% t2flow_output: #get_log.logf = link(t1, t2, "#random", "#number")flow_output: #get_log.log# # you cannot directly copy-paste it
# # please push it using API, we will register each tool for you
# library("clipr")
# write_clip(f$toJSON(pretty = TRUE))
t2 <- Tool(id = "log new test 3", label = "get log",
hints = requirements(docker(pull = "rocker/r-base")),
# requirements = requirements(fd),
baseCommand = "Rscript log.R",
inputs = input(id = "number",
type = "file",
secondaryFiles = sevenbridges:::set_box(".bai")),
outputs = output(id = "log",
type = "file",
glob = "*.txt"))
# library("clipr")
# write_clip(t2$toJSON(pretty = TRUE))Note: this workflow contains tools that do not exist on the platform, so if you directly copy and paste the JSON into the GUI, it won’t work properly, however, a simple way is to push your app to platform via API. This will add new tools one by one to your project before add your workflow app on the platform. Alternative if you connect two tools you know they exist on the platform, you don’t need to do so.
# auto-check tool info and push new tools
p$app_add("new_flow_log", f)Now let’s connect two tools
Checking potential mapping is easy with function link_what, it will print matched input and outputs. Then the generic function link will allow you to connect two Tool objects
If you don’t specify which input/ouput to expose at flow level for new Flow object, it will expose all availabl ones and print the message, otherwise, please provide parameters for flow_input and flow_output with full id.

Here is a quick demo:
a = Auth(platform = "platform_name", token = "your_token")
p = a$project("demo")
app.runif = p$app_add("runif555", rbx)
aid = app.runif$id
tsk = p$task_add(name = "Draft runif simple",
description = "Description for runif",
app = aid,
inputs = list(min = 1, max = 10))
tsk$run()1. From CLI
While developing tools it is useful to test them locally first. For that we can use rabix – reproducible analyses for bioinformatics, https://github.com/rabix. To test your tool with latest implementation of rabix in Java (called bunny) you could use the Docker image tengfei/testenv:
docker pull tengfei/testenvDump your rabix tool as JSON into dir which also contains input data. write(rbx$toJSON, file="<data_dir>/<tool>.json"). Make inputs.json file to declare input parameters in the same directory (you can use relative paths from inputs.json to data). Create container:
docker run --privileged --name bunny -v </path/to/data_dir>:/bunny_data -dit tengfei/testenvExecute tool
docker exec bunny bash -c 'cd /opt/bunny && ./rabix.sh -e /bunny_data /bunny_data/<tool>.json /bunny_data/inputs.json'You’ll see running logs from within container, and also output dir inside
NOTE 1: tengfei/testenv has R, python, Java… so many tools can work without Docker requirement set. If you however set Docker requirement you need to pull image inside container first to run docker container inside running bunny docker.
NOTE 2: inputs.json can also be inputs.yaml if you find it easier to declare inputs in YAML.
