Optional files causing problems invoking workflows (galaxy v20.01) #327

Description

@Tomnl

I am getting problems when invoking workflows where optional input file parameters (i.e. the XML tool includes optional="true") are left blank in the workflow.

The workflows will either not run at all or stop at the point reaching the tool with the empty optional input file parameter.

Any ideas?

Using Galaxy v20.01 and bioblend git commit f989789

Bioblend running as
wc.invoke_workflow(workflow_id, inputs=workflow_inputs_d, history_id=id, inputs_by='name')

I have provided an example small workflow with the tool xcms_merge where the problem occurs. However, I seem to get the problem with any tool with optional fileinputs.
