sprocket inputs ​

The inputs subcommand generates a template input JSON file for a given task or workflow. Required inputs appear with a <REQUIRED> placeholder and their type, inputs with defaults show their default values directly, and optional inputs without defaults appear as null.

sprocket inputs example.wdl --target main

{
  "main.name": "String <REQUIRED>",
  "main.greeting": "hello"
}

Options ​

• --target (-t) — selects which task or workflow to generate inputs for, consistent with the run and validate subcommands.
• --hide-defaults — emits only required inputs by hiding defaulted and optional inputs.
• --show-non-literals — includes inputs whose default values are non-literal expressions in the template. These appear as <NON-LITERAL: expression>. This option cannot be combined with --hide-defaults or --type-signatures.
• --nested-inputs — includes overrideable inputs for each task called in the workflow, not just the top-level workflow inputs.
• --type-signatures — renders every included value as its declared WDL type instead of a placeholder or default value. Combine it with --hide-defaults to emit only required inputs and their types.
• --yaml — outputs the template as YAML instead of JSON.
