Bug report

Expected behavior and actual behavior

When using the getName() method on TaskPath objects, it should just output the filename and not the parent directory if the file gets staged in a subdirectory of a process. The actual behaviour is that getName provides the full staged path, unlike getBaseName which does strip the parent directory.

Steps to reproduce the problem

workflow {
    TASK( Channel.fromPath(['data/sampleA.ext.gz','data/sampleB.ext.gz','data/sampleC.ext.gz']).collect() )
        .view()
}

process TASK {
    input:
    path files_in, stageAs: 'zipped/*'

    script:
    """
    echo "${files_in*.name}"
    echo "${files_in*.baseName}"
    """

    output:
    stdout
}
