subworkflow_changes

SubworkflowLint.subworkflow_changes(subworkflow)

Checks whether installed nf-core subworkflow have changed compared to the original repository

Downloads the main.nf and meta.yml files for every subworkflow and compares them to the local copies

If the subworkflow has a commit SHA entry in the modules.json, the file content is compared against the files in the remote at this SHA.

Only runs when linting a pipeline, not the modules repository

The following checks are performed:

• subworkflow_patch: If the subworkflow is patched, the patch must apply cleanly in reverse against the remote version.
• check_local_copy: Each subworkflow file must be identical to the corresponding file in the remote repository at the pinned commit SHA.
