Install

Installing the official package from PyPi

pip install cwltest

Or from bioconda

conda install -c bioconda cwltest

Or from source

git clone https://github.com/common-workflow-language/cwltest.git
cd cwltest && pip install  .

Run on the command line

Simple command:

cwltest --test test-descriptions.yml --tool cwl-runner

Generate conformance badges using cwltest

To make badges that show the results of the conformance test, you can generate JSON files for https://badgen.net by using --badgedir option

To generate JSON files:

cwltest --test test-descriptions.yml --tool cwl-runner --badgedir badges
...
$ cat badges/command_line_tool.json | jq .
{
  "subject": "command_line_tool",
  "status": "100%",
  "color": "green"
}

Once you upload JSON file to a server, you make a badge by using a link like https://badgen.net/https/path/to/generated/json or https://flat.badgen.net/https/path/to/generated/json (for flat badges).

Here is an example of markdown to add a badge:
