Running a tool from a tool?
by Ganote, Carrie L 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi all, I'm trying to make a tool that takes, as input, a dataset of type="data" and format = "axt,fasta". I want to run the axt_to_fasta tool if the input is axt and the fasta_to_tabular if the input is fasta. Basically, I want to wrap all the type conversions into one tool, since it seems like there is no easy way to allow submenus under the <section> tags. My output from this tool will be the same as the input because I just want to pass it along to another tool; my question is, what should my command be? Should I try to call /lib/galaxy/tools/__init__.py or /lib/galaxy/web/controllers/tool_runner.py? So far I'm trying to learn the architecture of galaxy by delving into the code, looking at all the tool configs and running firebug on firefox to step through the javascript. It makes for slow going though and there's a lot I don't get yet. Thanks for any insight, -Carrie

Method to copy files....
by Neil.Burdett＠csiro.au 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi, Can you tell me the part of the Galaxy code or method responsible for actually copying over the data from one machine to another? i.e. it looks like data is first copied over to the ~/galaxy-dist/database/tmp area first before being moved on, which method copies over the data to ~/galaxy-dist/database/tmp ? Or where is a good place to investigate where this may happen? Thanks Neil

Hopefully! I haven't tested distributing datatypes at all via the toolshed let alone binary ones, but my guess is that it will work now. Perhaps Greg has a comment on this issue. It seems like it wouldn't work if you had multiple versions of the same datatype installed, but I don't know how Galaxy handles that even in for normal types. > > I have a bit of confusion (being a novice Galaxian) about how conversion > tools work.

Greg has been hard at work over the last several months implementing the ability to package scripts for installing dependencies along with your tool repository. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/ToolShedToolFeatures Again, I haven't played with that feature - I'm waiting on the ability to script interactions with the tool shed and inter-repository dependencies. -John > > I tried to follow the link that Nate sent to Pieter on the site I mentioned: > http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/304/make-binary-datatype-u… > but BitBucket says > > You do not have access to the issues. > > Use the links at the top to get back. > > > > :-( They have disabled the issue tracker, but have promised the data will be transplanted somewhere new at some point. -John > > Is there a way to get access to the issues? > > Thanks 10e+06 > > --Mark Johnson > NCBI > > > On 10/10/12 2:45 PM, John Chilton wrote: > > Hey Mark, > > A few things, instead of printing stuff out you could use the global > variable log in the binary.py file.

Cannot install ncbi_blast_plus or other tools from Tool Shed: HTTP 500 error
by Joel Rosenberg 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

(Apologies if this is in duplicate, Peter Cock may have forwarded it on after I posted it to the user list) So I'm trying to install the recently migrated ncbi_blast_plus tool from the Tool Shed to my local galaxy instance running in EC2 and am getting errors at the installation step. After clicking "Install to local Galaxy" I immediately get: "Server Error An error occurred. See the error logs for more information. (Turn debug on to display exception reports here)" and an HTTP 500 error code is returned. Chrome tells me the URL it's attempting to request is: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/install_repositories_by_revision?c… I tried the same process for other non-blast related tools that appeared to be simple (no 3rd party binary dependencies) and got the same server error. I restarted galaxy with its log level set to DEBUG and wasn't illuminated further, but that doesn't surprise me since my browser's requesting data from the public toolshed, not my server. I just performed a mercurial update in my cluster, too. Any ideas?

Velveth wrapper not working with real user jobs
by Oleksandr Moskalenko 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Velveth wrapper passes the location of the database/files/xxx/dataset_yyy_files to the velveth as an argument. Same paths are put into the output html file. This method can't work anymore when jobs are submitted under real user names as a real user doesn't have write permissions outside of the exernal_chown_script, so the velveth wrapper is broken for all installations using real user id jobs at this time. Regards, Alex

The migrated BWA installed but missing dependencies
by Derrick LIN 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi guys, I have updated the galaxy to Oct 5 dist, and BWA has been reinstalled via the migration script. However, I couldn't find any entry has been added in migrated_tools_conf.xml (thus the BWA tools are not display in the tool panel). I check in the admin "Installed tool shed repositories" section and BWA repos status is "Installed, missing dependencies", is that why it didn't get added into the migrated_tools_conf.xml? I have had BWA 0.5.9-r16 in path, and been used by the old BWA wrapper without an issue before. How can I fix this dependencies issue for a Shed Tool? Should I add something like: <tool_dependency_dir>/bowtie/0.12.7/env.sh thanks, Derrick

the value of configfile tag
by welkin zzp 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi, I have an executable tool that input parameter is an xml string (e.g. run.sh <exam>name</exam>), so how should I set the configfile tag('<configfile><exam>name</exam></configfile>' is not right) if the tool is called by using a tmp-file in command tag (i.e. run.sh $tmp-file) ? thanks welkin

Uploading and outputting multiple files
by Alex.Khassapov＠csiro.au 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi List, Our tools require an array of input files and also produce an array of files. This seems as a pretty standard task, but unfortunately Galaxy doesn't support this yet. I wonder if somebody has already implemented this kind of 'file array' data type? I.e. the user selects a local directory and uploads all files as a single dataset. Even better if the user could specify a regular expression for file selection. I know that there are other options, i.e. taring the files or using composite data type, but they don't seem natural. Any hints?
