view usage/verification

[gfudenberg]

would it make sense to verify view/cooler compatibility before launching all rules?

also, did we decide that views should be saved w/o headers?

it seems that many rules don't support views-- should that be a future upgrade?

Re verification, that's a good idea.

Headers - I don't know... Good question.

All rules support a view (where the underlying command supports it, so not chromosight or mustache), just define it once at the top of the config and it will be applied everywhere.

Verification is done! Just in the main code in the Snakefile for local coolers, and immediately in the download rule for remote coolers.

In general there are a lot more checks that con be done on all inputs, we can just start a separate issue with a checklist for that.

FYI actually for now I disabled this because for some reason it was erroring on valid views... Need to figure it out at some point.
Actually, seems fine...

After all I keep getting errors for view that are totally valid, no idea why....
