Workflow assigning columns on output causes "Uncaught exception in exposed API method"
by Peter Briggs
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-wi...
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.
Thanks,
Peter

samtools_slice_bam/2.0.1 no options available
by Eric Kuyt
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.

new datasets appear in database/files/000/
by Jochen Bick
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?
Thanks in advance Jochen

Re: galaxy-dev Digest, Vol 155, Issue 3
by Matthias Bernt
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.
Cheers,
Matthias

URL prefix doesn't work properly in Galaxy v18.09
by Ping Luo
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=sk0xs...
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.

Tagging collection datasets from file with hashtags
by Charles Girardot
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

Share Docker Volumes when integrating Containers in Galaxy
by Schäfer, Richard
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

- All accepted speakers have been notified and talks are being
added to the schedule as presenters confirm. There were far
more talk submissions this year than in any previous year and that
is reflected in the breadth and quality of the accepted talks.
https://gcc2019.sched.com/
- Poster and demo submission is still open! However, space *will*
fill up and when it's gone, it's gone. Got something to present?
Submit it *soon*.
https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2019/abstracts/
We hope to see you in Freiburg!
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.

Galaxy jobs on Apache Mesos with chronos.py runner
by Pietro Mandreoli
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/3b3b52f013ac8c6b5bf8a4765f9f...
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

Random failed job after update 18.05 -> 19.01
by edouard.hirchaud＠anses.fr
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"
