Hi,

I've made the following changes to get a successful version of your Snakemake workflow in Dockstore. I fixed the following issues

  1. Comparing with our documentation at https://docs.dockstore.org/en/stable/assets/templates/workflows/workflows.html , there is no descriptorType , no defaultTestParameterFilePath and description is topic
  2. I commented out publish so the workflow isn't automatically published until you're ready
  3. I added .snakemake-workflow-catalog.yml (you will want to customize this)
  4. This last one is a non-Dockstore thing, I renamed the Snakefile as per

https://snakemake.github.io/snakemake-workflow-catalog/docs/catalog.html#generic-workflows

The repository contains a workflow definition named either Snakefile or workflow/Snakefile.

...

have their main workflow definition named workflow/Snakefile (unlike for plain inclusion, which also allows just Snakefile in the root of the repository),
