linting fails to execute if "----" present in module patch diff file

[znorgaard]

Description of the bug

Linting will fail to run if "----" is present in a module patch diff file.

In an nf-core pipeline that currently passes linting add one of the latest samtools modules.

nf-core modules install samtools/dict

Modify the environment.yaml file to use a name: and remove the schema reference, because without non-unique conda environments currently break nextflow (until the next release at least). nextflow-io/nextflow#5489

name: samtools_dict
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - bioconda
dependencies:
  - bioconda::htslib=1.21
  - bioconda::samtools=1.21

Linting should still complete successfully at this point.

nf-core pipelines lint

Be responsible, document your patch! Run

nf-core modules patch samtools/dict

Now run linting again.

nf-core pipelines lint

ERROR    not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

If you remove the "----" line from the diff file, linting will pass again.
