Often one wants to make a value channel for a file input. The channel factory fromPath however creates a queue channel. One can either do:
fromPath
input_ch = fromPath( params.input, checkIfExists: true ).collect() // OR input_ch = file ( params.input, checkIfExists: true )
The difference here is that the first is a true channel, while the second is a file object. However, in DSL2, non-channel objects are implicitly converted into a value channel when used as input to a process.
