First command may fail, the second command should run

[manuelesimi]

Could I please have some help with a workaround from someone who is more experienced with bash and Nextflow? I have a process that has two commands, one that can fail and another that should run even if the first fails. The above trap implementation exits before the second command so I need something that can suppress or change the exit code like so

process foo {
  '''
  trap 'if [[ $? == expected_error ]]; then echo "OK supreesed error"; fi' EXIT
  your_command_that_may_fail
  
  second_command
  '''
}

This should do it:

process foo {
  '''
  your_command_that_may_fail || true
  
  second_command
  '''
}

Yup, that works! Thank you for your quick response.
