Reserved variables in param tags
by Kohler Manuel 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi, I have a question regarding the param tag. I would like to pass on the user email to a external python script. I tried to use it like this: <param name="email" type="hidden" value=$__user_email__ /> <param name="experiment" type="select" label="Experiment" help="select Experiment" refresh_on_change="true" dynamic_options="getExperiments(email)"/> This does not work. Ideally I would like to have something like this: dynamic_options="getExperiments($__user_email__)" Has someone done this before?

Error resolving Emboss tool dependencies
by Shantanu Pavgi (Campus) 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

I have migrated Emboss tool from dist to tool-shed using the migration script and later updated it's revision. The tool was installed along with it's dependencies, but it's failing to find them during job run. It's logging following 'Failed to resolve dependency on 'emboss', ignoring' warning message in the log file. It seems like build_dependency_shell_commands method in '/lib/galaxy/tools/__init__.py' is unable to get installed_tool_dependencies. I am not sure why this would fail and how to resolve it. I have tried resetting tool metadata several times, but that didn't help. Appreciate any help on resolving this error. I am using Galaxy release_2013.06.03 revision. Thanks, Shantanu

Hello all, Mercurial has recently started throwing errors: galaxy@hitmsbhpc1:~/galaxy-dist> hg incoming abort: error: _ssl.c:517: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol It has previously worked with issues has anyone seen this before? I don't think anything has changed that would have caused this problem but googling error has proved to be unhelpful so far. Regards, Alistair

I can't seem to find any information on the Galaxy wiki website about the procedure for updating a local Galaxy instance to the newest release. Is there a tutorial for this somewhere? Thank you, Richard

Re: [galaxy-dev] [galaxy-user] Questions regarding Galaxy Tool XML File
by Jeremy Goecks 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

This question is best directed to the galaxy-dev mailing list because it concerns developing around Galaxy, so I've moved it there. > However, if I understand it right, the idea of the XML tool config is to provide a description of the galaxy graphical user interface rather then a general description of the actual tool's interface. No, the XML config describes a tool in abstract/essence: inputs, parameters, and outputs. Rendering of a tool can be done any number of ways. > - param tag: I havent really understood how you define a parameter to be mandatory or optional. I see when it is the child of the repeat element that there is (maybe) a minimum defined. But when this is not the case, how can I conclude that the parameter is optional vs. mandatory ? Parameters have an 'optional' attribute. See here for details on tool and parameter config in general: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/ToolConfigSyntax > - param tag's help attribute: can I assume any format, or is it simply the output of the tools help command ? Format is simply text. > - when do you update the tools and in turn the XML configs. (e.g. the gatk stuff is kind of outdated: 1.4 vs 2.6 ) The depends on a number of factors, including tool stability, dependencies, usage level, and ease of updating. The tool shed makes it easy to follow tool updates for a local instance: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tool%20Shed You might be able to reuse some of that code in a stand-alone script. Good luck, J.

Tool Shed packages for BLAST+ binaries
by Peter Cock 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi Greg et al, For the NCBI BLAST+ wrappers, Nicola has suggested we split out the binaries themselves into a separate Tool Shed package, e.g. package_blast_plus_2_2_26 and similar for the later releases. https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast/issues/7 I think this is a good idea. I'd like to check if there are any complications foreseeable from the fact that the NCBI BLAST+ wrappers were migrated out of the Galaxy core and therefore have migration scripts we need to consider. Potentially this could be held under the shared IUC account as planned for other commonly used packages? Or would the migration issues require it to also live under devteam? Also, we may wish to add a dependency on BOOST, e.g. http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/package_boost_1_53 once this is on the main Tool Shed. Regards, Peter

Postgresql database cleaning
by Christophe Antoniewski 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hi everybody, The python scripts to clean histories, datasets, users etc.. are fine... However, the records are not really removed from the postgresql database and as a result, this one gets bigger and bigger with unused records. Ours is above 1 To after 2 years of production. Is there a safe way to clean the database from unused records and their dependencies to reduce it size, without being a postgresql guru ?
