Generate conformance badges using cwltest
To make badges that show the results of the conformance test, you can generate JSON files for https://badgen.net by using –badgedir option
To generate JSON files:
cwltest --test test-descriptions.yml --tool cwl-runner --badgedir badges
...
$ cat badges/command_line_tool.json | jq .
{
"subject": "command_line_tool",
"status": "100%",
"color": "green"
}
Once you upload JSON file to a server, you make a badge by using a link like https://badgen.net/https/path/to/generated/json or https://flat.badgen.net/https/path/to/generated/json (for flat badges).
Here is an example of markdown to add a badge:
