Bug report

Expected behavior and actual behavior

According to the documentation (and functionality in previous versions), nextflow should translate --kebab-case parameters into camelCase. There were some problems with this that I reported previously, which are stated to have been fixed in #4702, but now I'm not able to get it to work at all. In the version I'm using (24.11.0-edge build 5929), nothing at all happens when I pass --kebab-case parameters.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Here is a very simple workflow:

params.thingOne = "nothing"
workflow {
  println(params)
  println(params.thingOne)
}

When I do this:

nextflow run test.nf --thing-one newval

I would expect to see this output (according to #4702):

[thingOne:newval]
newval

But instead I see this:

[thing-one:newval, thingOne:nothing]
nothing

This actually appears to be a step backward from where we were before, because case translation worked then (despite other issues I may have had).
