Hey GWL-hackers,
Congratulations on the 0.2.0 release! After re-reading the info manual,
but not understanding all parts, I keep running into the problem of not
actually being totally sure on how to do some fairly basic things.
How do I install GWL, while using a `guix pull'-managed guix (so with
guile3.0)? As the `guix' that is a propagated input still uses guile2.2,
this is not as simple as I had hoped it would be.
Currently, I have the following wrapper in $HOME/.local/bin/gwl:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.2
export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache:$HOME/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.2
$HOME/.guix-profile/bin/guix workflow "$@"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This wrapper seems to work for stuff like `gwl --help' and `gwl
--prepare=<file>'. I'd much rather prefer something less terribad though
:).
My other issue relates to actually running computations usings
GWL. Given the following workflow file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
process hello-world
# { echo "Hello, world!" }
workflow do-the-thing
processes hello-world
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I can run GWL to both prepare and graph my workflow, yet I get the
following backtrace when trying actually `gwl --run=<file>':
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Backtrace:

Thanks for any guidance, and feel free to point me to the right section
of The Fine Manual that I simply misunderstood.

Hi Jelle,
thanks for giving the GWL a try!

Yeah, this is an issue that caused me sleepless nights. It’s something
I’ve been discussing for some time online and offline, and it’s on the
TODO for the next release. It is not clear yet how to properly insulate
the GWL from Guix.
The switch from Guile 2 to 3 is a good example of the problem we’re
facing as we try to extend Guix.

Oh, I’m sorry! This is a bug. The code was supposed to pass a list of
mapped input files to a procedure, but it accendentally just passed a
boolean. That’s clearly incorrect. I’m going to fix this soon.
So I suppose we’ll see a 0.2.1 release soon… Sorry about that!

For now I think we could provide a guile3.0-gwl variant in Guix using
guile3.0-guix as an input. (Or rather default to Guile 3 and provide a
guile2 variant.)

I fixed the bug locally, but I want to add a few more tests for that
part of the code before pushing it.

I'd still like to play around with any (temporary) workaround you might
have. Would you be willing share it as a patch that I can apply locally?

Oh, certainly. The reason for the bug is that I didn’t bother testing
workflows without any inputs. The temporary workaround is to add an
input, even if you aren’t using it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
process hello-world
inputs "/tmp"
# { echo "Hello, world!" }
workflow do-the-thing
processes hello-world
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Sorry about this!

This is now fixed in commit 6d050d9937f4a454b5e051640a8831fb5035c758.
Still working on extending the test suite…
