Re: [galaxy-dev] Popup menu population bug for data_column parameters
by Pieter Neerincx 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi Galaxy team, It seems this one managed to fly below the radar: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/491/data_column-parameter… Is there a chance I can re-enable automagic data format conversion in the near future? *Special note for Dan: GenePattern does not have this bug :) Cheers, Pi On Mar 3, 2011, at 7:32 PM, Pieter Neerincx wrote: > Hi Galaxy Devs, > > I think I found a bug in the handling of data_column parameters in combination with the data parameter they depend on.

With the FASTA file uploaded last it will be selected as the initial value. It's not a tabular file, but it can be automagically converted to tabular (is_convertable( data ) == true). It won't show up though in the popup menu to select a history item for the data parameter. Apparently when the HTML form is generated the FASTA file is skipped and the tabular file is the only one in the popup menu. > > In galaxy/lib/galaxy/tools/parameters/basic.py: > > class DataToolParameter( ToolParameter ): > ... > def get_initial_value( self, trans, context ): > """ > NOTE: This is wasteful since dynamic options and dataset collection > happens twice (here and when generating HTML). > """ > ... > # The line below is number 1366 (in my version of this file.) > # This may have bad effects for data_column parameters that depend on this data parameter; removing the 'or is_convertable( data )' will 'fix' it, > # but is no good solution as it kills the ability to select data that can be converted automagically to a compatible data type. > # The note above may explain why the convertable history item does not show up in the popup menu... > #if data.visible and not data.deleted and data.state not in [data.states.ERROR, data.states.DISCARDED] and ( isinstance( data.datatype, self.formats) or is_convertable( data ) ): > if data.visible and not data.deleted and data.state not in [data.states.ERROR, data.states.DISCARDED] and isinstance( data.datatype, self.formats ): > > When the data_column parameter is initialized however class ColumnListParameter( SelectToolParameter ) -> def get_column_list( self, trans, other_values ) sees the FASTA file and hence there will be no dataset.metadata.columns and the popup menu remains empty... > > If you have another tabular file in your history selecting that one and then switching back will update and populate the popup menu for the data_column parameter. If the order of the history items in the above example is reversed you also won't see the issue as a data set of the correct format is the "initial value". > > Cheers, > > Pi > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics group > Utrecht University > > phone: +31 6 143 66 783 > email: pieter.neerincx(a)gmail.com > skype: pieter.online > > visiting address: > H.R.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Display column headers in data_column parameter
by Johannes Eichner 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi Peter, I defined an additional metadata element for the column names analogously to the "column_types" element in the module "<galaxy_basedir>/lib/galaxy/tools/datatypes/tabular.py": MetadataElement( name="column_names", default=[], desc="Column names", param=metadata.ColumnTypesParameter, readonly=True, visible=False, no_value=[] ) Then I read the column names in the function "set.meta" and saved them in the new metadata element: dataset.metadata.column_names = column_names Finally, I changed a line of code in the function "get.column.list" in "<galaxy_basedir>/lib/galaxy/tools/parameters/basic.py", such that Galaxy displays the column names in the data_column parameter: original line: column_list.append( str( i + 1 ) ) changed line: column_list.append( str( i + 1 ) + ": " + dataset.metadata.column_names[i]) ) Kind regards, Johannes Dipl.-Inf.

Display column headers in data_column parameter
by Johannes Eichner 26 May '11

26 May '11

Dear Galaxy-Dev Team, is it possible to display the headers of the columns which can be selected in a data_column parameter? Currently, only the column index (e.g., c1, c2, etc.) is displayed in Galaxy. If it would be possible to additionally display the column headers, the selection of the desired columns would be easier for the user. Is there a way to do this using the current version of Galaxy? Kind regards, Johannes -- Dipl.-Inf. (Bioinf.) Johannes Eichner Univ. Tuebingen, WSI-RA, Sand 1, D-72076 Tuebingen, Germany Phone: (+49/0) 7071 / 29 70436 Fax: (+49/0) 7071 / 29 5091

cluster files directory configuration
by Shantanu Pavgi 26 May '11

26 May '11

I have configured custom cluster_files_directory in universe_wsgi.ini file. The cluster jobs are running fine, however job scripts, stdout and stderr are being written in default database/pbs location. Am I missing something in the configuration here? -- Thanks, Shantanu.

Getting binary programs into Galaxy distribution?
by Duddy, John 26 May '11

26 May '11

There is a C program for merging Gzip files (gzjoin) that I'd love to rely on for a core Galaxy capability. Is there a standard way to get things like this included in Galaxy? Recoding it in Python would be a bit of a pain, and might be a lot slower due to the IO layer not allowing the reuse of buffers.

NGS index files not showing up
by Jeremy Lipson 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi, I've installed galaxy locally on my Mac, I've got everything running fine except Bowtie/Tophat/etc. indexes. I tried following the steps here: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/NGSLocalSetup So my bowtie_indices.loc file looks like this: "e_coli /Users/jel65/galaxy-central/tool-data/e_coli" (no quotes) (I was just testing the e_coli index that came with bowtie) So I saved it, restarted the galaxy server, but still nothing shows up in the drop down. Did I miss a step? I've read the documentation multiple times. Thanks Jeremy

multiple cluster job runners?
by Shantanu Pavgi 25 May '11

25 May '11

I am looking at options to configure settings such as wall-time, memory, and number of cores etc. for each tool and wondering if this can be done using multiple cluster job runner configurations. Is it possible to define multiple cluster job runner configurations for each tool? In the universe_wsgi.ini file it is mentioned that individual per-tool job runners can be specified, however I don't see any example other than 'default_cluster_job_runner'. So is there any key-value syntax for defining it in the ini file? I appreciate any comments or suggestions regarding this issue. -- Thanks, Shantanu.

Let me know if you want a new unit test to go with it and/or to bump the tool's version number. Regards, Peter
