`miniwdl input_template`¶

miniwdl input_template generates a JSON skeleton for the inputs required to run a given WDL. Once the template is filled out, the JSON can be used with miniwdl run … -i INPUT.json.

$ miniwdl input-template path/to/my.wdl > my_inputs.json
$ vim my_inputs.json  # edit template
$ miniwdl run path/to/my.wdl -i my_inputs.json

Currently, the template includes only the WDL’s required inputs (not the optional ones).
