-resume goes all the way back to SplitIntervals, make_uBAM and Bwa

[mantczakaus]

Hi,
I was wondering if there is anything that could be done to improve Nextflow's -resume functionality in the pipeline. I have resumed a run that failed on pVACseq but still the pipeline went all the way back to SplitIntervals, make_uBAM and Bwa. It used cached tasks only for some quality control processes and HLA typing (see below). Happy to provide more details if necessary.
Best wishes,
Magda

There are certain shared filesystems that seem to have inconsistent files timestamps, this is screwing up the caching invalidation of nextflow.

You could try to set the following parameter in conf/process.config around

nextNEOpi/conf/process.config

Line 10 in aac260d

     // default caching
     cache='lenient'

Let me know if this works

Setting cache to lenient worked - it now uses over 500 tasks from the cache instead of 15 - thank you!
