Gencove CLI v2.0.24

We’ve released several updates to the Gencove CLI.

Updates are briefly outlined below and more details about the changes are available on https://docs.gencove.com

Managing merged VCF files using the CLI

We received feedback that creating, monitoring status, and downloading these files using the CLI would be quite useful. Previously, this was only available via the Gencove web dashboard.

Exposing download URLs

Instead of actually downloading files, we heard it would be useful to simply output temporary download URLs for downstream processing. This is now possible by providing the --download-urls to the gencove download command.

Other updates

We’ve also:

• Dropped Python 2 support as promised, since it has reached its end-of-life. Users can upgrade to Python 3 or grab precompiled builds of the CLI here: https://github.com/gncv/gencove-cli/releases
• Updated list-batches command to include status and timestamps
• Fixed file naming of qc sample deliverables to be consistent with other deliverable types
• Enabled outputting sample identifiers that result from automatically running samples via the --run-project-id flag when uploading FASTQs
• Updated the CLI to return appropriate exit codes when it encounters errors
• Provided a --no-progress flag to suppress progress bars across commands
• Updated output formatting to be more informative and pleasantly formatted/colored across the board
