Workflow assigning columns on output causes "Uncaught exception in exposed API method"
by Peter Briggs 30 May '19

30 May '19

Dear Devs We've encountered a problem trying to run a workflow on our local Galaxy instance, which is resulting in an "uncaught exception in exposed API method" message displayed in the Galaxy window. The most trivial workflow exhibiting the problem consists of a single 'cut' task, where the output of the task is configured to change the datatype to "interval", and to explicitly assign the chrom, start and end columns to 1,2 and 3. Attempts to run this workflow generate the API exception. If the workflow is updated so that the column assignments are no longer attempted then the workflow is able to start without apparent problems. Our local Galaxy instance is a bit out of data (18.09) but I have been able to reproduce this error on Galaxy main so it looks like it also affects later versions. The failing workflow can be accessed on main via: https://usegalaxy.org/u/pjbriggs/w/cut-workflow-reassign-columns-fails-with… The same workflow with the column assignment removed is accessible via: https://usegalaxy.org/u/pjbriggs/w/cut-workflow-no-column-reassignment (Main offers two variants of the 'cut' tool - as far as I can tell this problem happens with both.) Apologies if this has already been reported elsewhere - any suggestions for a workaround appreciated.

samtools_slice_bam/2.0.1 no options available
by Eric Kuyt 22 May '19

22 May '19

Hey all, I have a question about the samtools_slice_bam tool in the samtools suite. It seems the references variable remains empty after re-detecting metadata. I now tried sorting the bam in galaxy and manually in samtools, but no references coming up. I also ran a breakpoint in the binary.Bam.set_meta but it doesn't seem to be catched. Any ideas? Thx. Eric

new datasets appear in database/files/000/
by Jochen Bick 22 May '19

22 May '19

Hi, today we found out that some of our files in your galaxy instance are new in "database/files/000/" which is the first folder of your database files. Could some please explain me how galaxy generates new file names? and how this is possible?

Dear Jochen, I don't know if its excpected. But at least I can tell that the same is happening here. And I can add if the 000 folder contains 000-999 the pattern repeats in 001.

URL prefix doesn't work properly in Galaxy v18.09
by Ping Luo 20 May '19

20 May '19

I configured URL prefix in galaxy 18.09. It has problems of resolving some of the links, including: workflow visualize -> create visualization shared data -> workflows shared data -> visualizations I will use workflow as an example to illustrate what happens. When the mouse cursor is put on workflow, the URL shown in at the left bottom of the browser shows https://xxx.xxx.tamu.edu/galaxy/workflows/list But after I clicked 'workflow', the real URL shown in the address bar is actually https://xxx.xxxx.tamu.edu/galaxy/galaxy//workflows/list?__identifer=sk0xsyw… Of course, there is no such a page and the browser shows a blank page. If I manually remove one galaxy in the URL, the page is correctly shown. Beside the four mentioned above, other links work fine. If galaxy is configured without prefix, then there is no problem. I also tested v18.05. With all the configuration being the same, this version doesn't have the problem with prefix like v18.09 does. So I think this is a bug in v18.09 with URL prefix. Ping

Tagging collection datasets from file with hashtags
by Charles Girardot 20 May '19

20 May '19

Dear all, I am trying to tag datasets with hashtags (so they propagate) with tags like #key:value . The idea is to transport information through the workflow that is used at the end of the WF by a custom tool to rename and organise datasets depending on their tags I can do this in the GUI: I tag datasets manually with "#key:value” tags, create a collection with all of them and run a WF => the tags properly propagate. However, when I try to do the same using the collection tool “Tag elements from file”, it does not work properly : the tags are visible in the collection produced by the “Tag elements from file” but are not propagated. I assume this means that the “Tag elements from file” escapes the “#” somehow and my tags are simple tags, not hashtags. Note that my input file is like : element_identifier1 #key1:value1 #key2:value1 element_identifier2 #key1:value2 #key2:value2 Now the questions : - Is this a bug or intended ? - where can I find the file “tag_collection_from_file.xml”, I can t locate it :-/ - any suggestion for a fix ? Thx a bunch Charles

Share Docker Volumes when integrating Containers in Galaxy
by Schäfer, Richard 20 May '19

20 May '19

Hello, I want to integrate a Docker container as a tool in Galaxy. This works great. However, I need the forward a Volume to the container (at least that how it works outside of Galaxy). In particular, this would be the BLAST database. This means, I would want to share the location specified in blastdb.loc and forward it to the container. Is there a way to do this? I see that there is an option to expose volumes to containers by specifying it in the job.conf.xml <param id="docker_volumes">$defaults,/mnt/galaxyData/libraries:ro,/mnt/galaxyData/indices:ro</param> However, I guess this will then be done for all containers? And how do I integrate blastdb.loc in that command? For that, my tool config looks like this: <param name="database" type="select" display="radio" label="NCBI-nt database"> <options from_file="blastdb.loc"> <column name="name" index="1"/> <column name="value" index="2"/> </options> </param> I simply want to access the path inside of the container and therefore shared it with the container. Thanks for any help Cheers Rich

Dave C on behalf of the GCC2019 Organizers ------------------ 2019 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2019) 1-8 July, Freiburg, Germany https://galaxyproject.org/gcc2019 ------------------ The 2019 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2019) will be held 1-8 July in Freiburg, Germany. GCC brings together hundreds of faculty, clinicians, researchers, and students, all working in and supporting data intensive science that is accessible, sharable and reproducible. GCC2019 features oral presentations, lightning talks, posters, demos, birds-of-a-feather gatherings (BoFs), training, a CollaborationFest, and plenty of opportunities for networking. Presentations will cover the full spectrum of Galaxy applications, enhancements and deployments. If you are working in data intensive science then GCC2019 is an ideal conference for sharing your work, learning from others, and finding new collaborators. Registration Early registration starts at €49/day for students and postdocs, and €79 / day for other academics and non-profit researchers. Childcare is available and travel fellowships are available as well. Early registration ends 17 May, when rates go up by 60%. So, register early. About Galaxy Galaxy (https://galaxyproject.org/) is a platform for data integration and analysis in the life sciences. It enables researchers to build, run, share, and repeat their own complex computational analyses using only a web browser and without having to first learn system administration and command line interfaces. The Galaxy Project is driven by a vibrant community who publish workflows and analyses, wrap new tools, maintain and enhance the source code, provide support, and write documentation and training materials. Galaxy is open-source and freely available, and is deployed in hundreds of organizations, running on everything from laptops through supercomputers to public and private clouds. Over 150 of these platforms are publicly available and can be used with little or no setup. Thousands of tools have been ported to Galaxy ("wrapped") and are deployable from the Galaxy Tool Shed. Galaxy was developed to support life science research, but the software is domain agnostic and is now used in domains as diverse as natural language processing, constructive solid geometry, and social science. -- https://galaxyproject.org/gcc2019/ https://galaxyproject.org/ https://usegalaxy.org/

Galaxy jobs on Apache Mesos with chronos.py runner
by Pietro Mandreoli 14 May '19

14 May '19

Dear experts, I’m trying to run Galaxy (version 18.05) jobs with Apache MESOS (version 1.5.0). I configured a NFS between galaxy and mesos cluster nodes, thus sharing the directories /home/galaxy and /path/to/galaxy/database with the directories (citations, compiled_templates, files, ftp, home, job_working_directory, object_store_cache, tmp). Then I have changed the job_conf.xml accordingly: ( https://gist.github.com/pmandreoli/6ffba03193717393a2322586686f9aed ). It works fine with my very simple test wrapper here: https://gist.github.com/pmandreoli/ce120612afd0ac9ee80ce70c90e7d324 Then I enabled mulled containers in the galaxy.yml file in order to test the configuration using fastQC (version 0.72, owner devteam). In this case the job was correctly executed on the mesos node (using the container quay.io/biocontainers/fastqc:0.11.8--1) but the results were not linked in the history (please see the attached fig1). [fig1. history panel screenshot for fastQC job on chronos destination] You can have a look to the output here: https://gist.github.com/pmandreoli/bbbeb2eab5c1d1772872220c01678e15 I checked the docker run command on chronos and the working directory is located on /root/working. In order to check if the problems is related to my job_conf.xml configuration and not to the mulled containers i changed the job_conf.xml to run jobs locally ( https://gist.github.com/pmandreoli/484566b2c548d39d8bddb5aa54461ecc ) and i have run the same tool (fastQC 0.72). In this case everything was fine. Is my job_conf.xml configuration correct? I would also like to ask if it is possible to add more than one volume to the docker container run on MESOS in order to add the location for the reference data, located on my mesos slave node in /cvmfs. I tried to modify the job_conf.xml block in this way <param id="volumes">/export/galaxy/database/,/cvmfs/</param> but the job failed. The docker run command sent to chronos was indeed wrong: “-v /export/galaxy/database/,/cvmfs/:/export/galaxy/database/,/cvmfs/:rw “. This is probably due to the definition of the “volumes” field in the chronos.py runner: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/3b3b52f013ac8c6b5bf8a4765f9fe9… which, if I understand well, is allowing to use only one path. Did I miss something? Any suggestion and correction is, of course, more than welcome. Best regards, Pietro Mandreoli <signaturebeforequotedtext></signaturebeforequotedtext><signatureafterquotedtext></signatureafterquotedtext>

10 May '19

Hello all, After updating our galaxy instance (18.05 ->19.01) we have a strange problem. When we run or re-run a job from a history the job failed randomly. We have no errors in log file (level_log DEBUG) but in the dataset we see "cannot import name find_instance_nested" Cheers Edouard
