Update the version of Nextflow used to 23.04.1

gf-atebbe opened this issue · 0 comments

Description

As of AGC v1.6.0, the version of Nextflow used is 22.04.3. The latest upstream stable version of Nextflow is 23.04.1. The version of Nextflow used by AGC needs to be updated to incorporate Nextflow bug fixes as well as ensure AGC's compatibility with published NF-Core pipelines.

Use Case

There are several bug fixes and enhancements added between the 22.04.3 and 23.04.1 releases of Nextflow. For example, a newer versions of nextflow components, Java and other features.

In addition, the latest versions of signature NF-Core workflows, like nf-core/rnaseq, explicitly require a version of Nextflow that is >=22.10.1 via their manifest configuration. As a result, AGC users cannot run the latest version of NF-Core workflows that have this configuration.

Proposed Solution

Bump the version of Nextflow used in builds to 23.04.1:
amazon-genomics-cli/packages/engines/nextflow/buildspec.yml

NEXTFLOW_VERSION: "23.04.1"
Other information

The next planned release of Nextflow is forthcoming and likely to land in October. Historically, stable version of Nextflow are released twice a year in April and October.
