poor support for Singularity

[gailrosen]

Hi,

to get singularity to run, I've had to go into almost all cwl scripts and put "#!/usr/bin/env -S cwltool --singularity" at the top.

Now, I STILL get a problem where it's trying to call Docker (i have put the cwltool --singularity at the top of fastp-pe.cwl but it still won't work.. I have tried everything.... even changing the alias of docker to singularity... why doesn't this work?!!):

[gailr@node006 batch_nima]$ which cwltool ~/.local/bin/cwltool [gailr@node006 batch_nima]$ ~/.local/bin/cwltool --version /home/gailr/.local/bin/cwltool 3.1.20230906142556 [gailr@node006 batch_nima]$ apptainer --version apptainer version 1.1.6-1.el8 [gailr@node006 batch_nima]$ singularity --version apptainer version 1.1.6-1.el8

i am also runnin the VIRTUS_wrapper.py

[gailrosen]

I don't get this error when I run VIRTUS.PE.cwl .... just when i run the wrapper. It seems to be in the way the commandline tool is run in CWL

[gailrosen]

I think it's working if I go into /home/gailr/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cwltool/command_line_tool.py and manually set runtimeContext.singularity=True . And this is at the top of the make_job_runner function. If you can tell me how I was supposed to get this to work without completely hacking this, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi, so sorry for my late reply. VIRTUS_wrappers.py have --singularity option. Did you try this option?

[gailrosen]

of course i did... but it still had probs

[yyoshiaki]

Hmm. If #!/usr/bin/env -S cwltool --singularity works, to reproduce this line, how about replacing cwltool in VIRTUS_wrapper.py to the full path to cwltool which can be checked by which cwltool though this is not essential solution? https://github.com/yyoshiaki/VIRTUS2/blob/master/wrapper/VIRTUS_wrapper.py#L126 https://github.com/yyoshiaki/VIRTUS2/blob/master/wrapper/VIRTUS_wrapper.py#L140

Because this looks like the error relating to cwltool itself, could you ask for it in the cwltool repository if the error persists? You may get better information there.
