When can we expect Dockstore support for WDL versions >1.0? I just tried to add a WDL with version 1.1 but got an error message that Dockstore only supports version 1.0. AnVIL just added support for 1.1 recently, so it would be great to be able to use the new features in WDLs we import from Dockstore.
FWIW… I had an existing WDL that was version 1.0 and changed it to v 1.1, and it still works to launch it from dockstore. I just can’t publish a new WDL with v 1.1.
Dockstore had a few tickets open to work on WDL 1.1 support (attached). But they indicate that while we likely never finished working on validating 1.1 or parsing it properly, you should not be blocked from publishing or launching a WDL 1.1
So I checked and I was able to publish and launch a 1.1 workflow. The “Files” tab shows a warning, but this doesn’t block launching.
Did you get an error message or tooltip that may explain more?
I think I figured out, we must have tested with workflows that started as WDL 1.0 and then evolved to 1.1.
If you start with 1.1, the workflow never has a “valid” version and this prevents it from being published in the UI. You can workaround by having a valid 1.0 version on some other branch or tag, but this definitely is not an ideal workaround.
I’ll prioritize the ticket to finish off the WDL 1.1 support if possible or to relax the requirement if this isn’t possible in a timely manner.
