Running jobs as real user and extra_file_path
by Louise-Amélie Schmitt 28 Apr '17

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask how the extra_file_path is handled in case of job running as the real user since the file_path is only writable by the galaxy user. Any clue? Thanks, L-A

Workflow param error leads to template error
by Paul-Michael Agapow 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Looking for pointers on what might be causing this problem: A user had a moderately complicated workflow that when run under certain parameter values results in a traceback that ends: Module workflow_run_mako:232 in render_body >> for ic in oc.input_step.module.get_data_inputs(): AttributeError: 'WorkflowStep' object has no attribute 'module' After some puzzling, I realized one of the parameters was outside the allowed range (a max on an integer param) and that Galaxy was trying to render "run.mako" flagging up the error but erroring out. Why Galaxy tries to call this non-existent member is unclear to me. Any insight or places I should start exploring?

Default value for data_column not working?
by Peter Cock 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hi all, I'm trying to write a new tool working with tabular data (specifically a Reciprocal Best Hits (RBH) tool using BLAST style tabular output). I want the user to be able to choose a column number (from one of the input files), but I have a default column in mind. However, Galaxy doesn't seem to obey the default column number: <inputs> <param name="a_vs_b" type="data" format="tabular" label="Hits from querying A against B" description="Tabular file, e.g. BLAST output" /> <param name="b_vs_a" type="data" format="tabular" label="Hits from querying B against A" description="Tabular file, e.g. BLAST output" /> <param name="id1" type="data_column" data_ref="a_vs_b" multiple="False" numerical="False" value="1" label="Column containing query ID" help="This is column 1 in standard BLAST tabular output" /> <param name="id2" type="data_column" data_ref="a_vs_b" multiple="False" numerical="False" value="2" label="Column containing match ID" help="This is column 2 in standard BLAST tabular output"/> <param name="score" type="data_column" data_ref="a_vs_b" multiple="False" numerical="False" value="12" label="Column containing containing score to rank on" help="The bitscore is column 12 in standard BLAST tabular output"/> </inputs> I've tried giving the default column value numerically (as shown), and also using value="c2" etc. Regardless, Galaxy just defaults to the first column. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Peter

FTP Problem: Users cannot see their uploads files.
by Misharl mon 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Hi everybody, I have managed to get proftpd to work, it can connect to the galaxy sql database, and users can log to upload files in their directory. But there is a problem, when a galaxy user logs in the galaxy web platform, the user can't see his upload files since Galaxy doesn't have the rights to open the directory. How can i change the permissions in proftpd so that galaxy can open the user directory? Thanks in advance to all. Mish

Compressed data files in Galaxy? (e.g. GZIP or BGZF)
by Peter Cock 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello all, What is the current status in Galaxy for supporting compressed files? We've talked about this before, for example in addition to FASTQ, many of us have expressed a wish to work with gzipped FASTQ. I understand that some have customized their local Galaxy installations to use gzipped FASTQ as a specific data type - I'm more interested in a general file format neutral solution. Also, I'd like to be able to used BGZF (not just GZIP) because it is better for random access - see for example http://blastedbio.blogspot.com/2011/11/bgzf-blocked-bigger-better-gzip.html - and makes it much easier to break up large datafiles for sharing over a cluster (i.e. it could be exploited in the current Galaxy code for splitting large sequence files). The 11 May 2012 Galaxy Development News Brief http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2012-May/009757.html mentions tabix indexing - that uses bgzip, so is there something general in place yet to allow tool wrappers to say they accept not just given file formats, but different compressed versions of file formats? Ideally I'd like to be able to write an XML tool description saying a tool produced BGZF compressed tabular data, or GZIP compressed Sanger FASTQ etc. Similarly, I'd like to specify my tool accepts FASTA or gzipped FASTA (including BGZF FASTA). While for older tools if they say they accept only uncompressed FASTA, Galaxy could automatically decompress any compressed FASTA entries in my history on demand. Peter

Hi Yan, I've moved this discussion to the galaxy-dev list since it pertains to a local installation of Galaxy. Responses to your questions follow, in-line.

See the error logs for more information.(To turn debug on > to display ...). Since debug = False in universe_wsgi.ini, you should be able to find a more detailed error message in the log file.

If starting with the --daemon flag (as above), you can use: % sh run.sh --stop-daemon If running in the foreground, you can use Ctrl-C to terminate the process. There is a recent bug whereby Ctrl-C is ineffective on some platforms under Python 2.6 - in this case you will have to kill/pkill the process manually. We are working on a fix for the latter. > (3) If I reset universe_wsgi.ini file and want to set an administrator > user(I can add a line in the above file), how can I get the password? Should > I stop galaxy(See question 2) first? then run "./setup.sh" and "./run.sh". setup.sh would have only been necessary prior to running Galaxy the first time, however, this step has recently been removed. If you are referencing documentation that still refers to setup.sh, please let us know so we can update it - I did notice this was still on the "Production Server" page, so I removed it from there. You no longer need to run setup.sh at all. > (4) If I run "setup.sh", will a new file "universe_wsgi.ini" be generated? > if I want to change this file,should I edit it before "run.sh" and after > "setup.sh". Is it right? setup.sh and its replacements in run.sh and the Galaxy application itself never overwrite files, they only create files from sample files if they do not exist. > (5) I read some of your docs, command "sh setup.sh"(sh run.sh) and > "./setup.sh"(./run.sh), which one is correct under Linux?

samtools BAM to SAM tmp directory
by Matt Shirley 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Is there a reason that the samtools BAM to SAM does not respect the new_file_path set in the config file? The tmp directory handling by different tool wrappers seems to be an issue right now on systems with small system tmp directories. -- Matt Shirley Ph.D Candidate - BCMB Pevsner Lab <http://pevsnerlab.kennedykrieger.org/> Johns Hopkins Medicine

Displaying genomic sequences in Trackster
by Naharajan Lakshmanaperumal 24 May '13

24 May '13

Dear all, We have our own galaxy instance and the idea is to have trackster enabled for users to be able to visualize NGS mapping. We were able to configure trackster in our instance and the visualization works fine. We have two questions regarding trackster: 1) We can't display genomic sequences in trackster. As per the tutorial, we set the location of the .2bit file in the twobit.loc file for the trackster to be able to display the genomic sequence but for some reason it doesn't display it. The name of the builds is the same in all places i.e) in ucsc/chrom/builds.txt and also in the .loc files. Any ideas on what else should be done? 2) While saving the visualization, there is always an error message saying "could not save visualization" and it doesn't seem to be a web browser issue. How do we then save the visualization? Thanks in advance, Naharajan

Difficulties using <repeat> tagset with min attribute
by Cory Spencer 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi all - I've been trying to get the <repeat>...</repeat> tag working with a min attribute for some time now, though without any success. It works in other tools distributed with Galaxy, but when I attempt to use it in one of our custom tools, it dies with a "AttributeError: 'ExpressionContext' object has no attribute 'keys'" exception. Can anybody offer any insight? The full traceback is: ⇝ AttributeError: 'ExpressionContext' object has no attribute 'keys' URL: http://localhost:8080/tool_runner?tool_id=scde-list-compare Module weberror.evalexception.middleware:364 in respond view >> app_iter = self.application(environ, detect_start_response) Module paste.debug.prints:98 in __call__ view >> environ, self.app) Module paste.wsgilib:539 in intercept_output view >> app_iter = application(environ, replacement_start_response) Module paste.recursive:80 in __call__ view >> return self.application(environ, start_response) Module paste.httpexceptions:632 in __call__ view >> return self.application(environ, start_response) Module galaxy.web.framework.base:160 in __call__ view >> body = method( trans, **kwargs ) Module galaxy.web.controllers.tool_runner:68 in index view >> template, vars = tool.handle_input( trans, params.__dict__ ) Module galaxy.tools:1320 in handle_input view >> state = self.new_state( trans ) Module galaxy.tools:1248 in new_state view >> self.fill_in_new_state( trans, inputs, state.inputs ) Module galaxy.tools:1257 in fill_in_new_state view >> state[ input.name ] = input.get_initial_value( trans, context ) Module galaxy.tools.parameters.grouping:100 in get_initial_value view >> rval_dict[ input.name ] = input.get_initial_value( trans, context ) Module galaxy.tools.parameters.basic:1016 in get_initial_value view >> return SelectToolParameter.get_initial_value( self, trans, context ) Module galaxy.tools.parameters.basic:785 in get_initial_value view >> if self.need_late_validation( trans, context ): Module galaxy.tools.parameters.basic:1022 in need_late_validation view >> if super( ColumnListParameter, self ).need_late_validation( trans, context ): Module galaxy.tools.parameters.basic:766 in need_late_validation view >> for layer in context.itervalues(): Module UserDict:116 in itervalues view >> for _, v in self.iteritems(): Module UserDict:109 in iteritems view >> for k in self: Module UserDict:96 in __iter__ view >> for k in self.keys(): AttributeError: 'ExpressionContext' object has no attribute 'keys'
