- Support for Nextflow 26.04 and its new features
AWS HealthOmics now supports Nextflow version 26.04, bringing features such as record types, a strict syntax parser, workflow output summaries, and agent logging mode to bioinformatics workflows. This enables customers to leverage improvements in workflow readability, debugging, and integration capabilities.
Enhancements (4) ›
- Strict syntax parser enabled by default
The strict syntax parser in Nextflow v26.04, now enabled by default, enforces strict linting and unambiguous scoping to catch pipeline issues early. This helps save compute time and costs by identifying problems during initialization rather than deep into workflow execution.
- Record types for improved workflow readability
Record types allow workflow developers to use meaningful data names instead of relying on the order of tuple elements. This makes workflows more readable and less prone to errors.
- JSON output summary for easier integration
Workflow output summaries are now provided in JSON format, simplifying integration with downstream tooling.
- Agent logging mode for AI-assisted debugging
A new agent logging mode offers structured, minimal output optimized for AI-assisted workflow debugging and development.
