cleanup
by Philipp Rathert 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Dear All, Since the new galaxy version, I am unable to perform a cleanup anymore. >From the galaxy root directory I want to start the script cleanup_datasets.py with the following line: $ python cleanup_datasets.py /export/galaxy-central/config/galaxy.ini -d -60 -1 I get the error message: Can't open file 'cleanup_datasets.py': no such file or directory. But when I go into the folder in which the script is located it doesn't work as well. For your information: we are running the latest docker-galaxy-stable version. I hope somebody has an idea.

JBrowse on dev branch: progress
by Peter van Heusden 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hi there Eric and others I tried to install the JBrowse tool on a dev branch server running on an Ubuntu 14.04 VM. It got stuck at the package_gnu_coreutils_8_22 dependency (revision ac64dfe4b1fb) - this ended up in "Installing tool dependencies" state. If I go look at the tool details it highlights errors in package_perl_5_18 which in turn refers to errors in gnu_coreutils (just "Error" state) and then this more informative failure for perl: "tar (child): local-lib-1.008009.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now" I wonder if this is a sign of a download error? Digging a bit more I find the error "Shutting down process id 21094 because it generated no output for the defined timeout period of 3600.0 seconds." for gnu_coreutils. I'm trying to do a reinstall of the gnu_coreutils and perl packages to see if I can get further. Peter

It would be nice to know that labels can only be lowercase in format tags
by rbrown1422＠comcast.net 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

Good evening, Having wasted multiple hours it would be helpful to see in the documentation that only LOWERCASE is allowed for defining unique file extensions to link specific files output by one tool as a particular input to another tool. <datatype extension="LOWER CASE ONLY-prog1_output" type="galaxy.datatypes.data:Text" sub display_in_upload="True"/> outgoing tool's xml <datatype format="LOWER CASE ONLY-prog1_output" name="output1" label="xxxx"/> Accepting tool's xml <datatype format="LOWER CASE ONLY-prog1_output" type="data" name="input1" label="xxxx" /> It would be great to know up-front the format can only be LOWER CASE -- no error message, no ignoring upper or lower and treating the same. Just failure when trying to run it.

Bypassing Data Managers?
by Raymond Wan 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Dear all, I'm a bit new at being a Galaxy administrator, so apologies for the basic question. I need to install some bowtie and bowtie2 indices. I have the indices already but came across this page: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/DataPreparation which says the steps mentioned on that page have been replaced with Data Managers. I'm having problems with installing Data Managers (accessing ToolShed right now and some errors which I guess I need to sort out later) and was wondering if there was a way to bypass Data Managers? Are Data Managers the only way of installing reference data? With the indices already pre-calculated, can I install them without having to go through re-calculating them within Galaxy? Thank you! Ray

copy/import shared history
by Le-Shin Wu 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hi, I’ve recently installed a new galaxy server and I found some weird behaviors of admin jobs. First, a shared history can not be copied as a new history. For example, user A shared one of his history with user B. User B can see this shared history through “histories shred with me” link, but when user B clicks “copy” of this history nothing happened. However, user B can view this history if he clicks “view” but if he then clicks “import history”, a new galaxy home page will be displayed on the center panel (as shown in the attached screenshot). Second, the administer can only delete groups but he can not purge those deleted groups. In other words, when the administer clicks the “purge” button of a deleted group, nothing will happen on this group. It still shows on the table with status as “deleted” Third, when installed the “package_fontconfig_2_11_1” through tool shed, the status of this package always shows as “installing tool dependencies”. We restarted our galaxy server several times but this message never went away (it always shows on the “monitor installing repositories” page). We really have no idea how to fix these strange behaviors and the web log file also don’t have any error message. Any suggestion? Thank you. Best LW

stage_data_in_history ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded
by Peter Cock 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi all, Occasionally I've seen TravisCI tool tests fail with an exeception ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded, e.g. https://travis-ci.org/peterjc/galaxy_blast/jobs/107255016 ... galaxy.jobs INFO 2016-02-16 14:17:41,118 Collecting metrics for Job 139 galaxy.jobs DEBUG 2016-02-16 14:17:41,143 job 139 ended (finish() executed in (1049.363 ms)) galaxy.model.metadata DEBUG 2016-02-16 14:17:41,154 Cleaning up external metadata files ... ====================================================================== ERROR: NCBI BLAST+ blastn ( ncbi_blastn_wrapper ) > Test-2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-dev/test/functional/test_toolbox.py", line 291, in test_tool self.do_it( td ) File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-dev/test/functional/test_toolbox.py", line 40, in do_it stage_data_in_history( galaxy_interactor, testdef.test_data(), test_history, shed_tool_id ) File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-dev/test/base/interactor.py", line 41, in stage_data_in_history upload_wait() File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-dev/test/base/interactor.py", line 278, in wait while not self.__history_ready( history_id ): File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-dev/test/base/interactor.py", line 297, in __history_ready history_json = self._get( "histories/%s" % history_id ).json() File "/home/travis/virtualenv/python2.6.9/lib/python2.6/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 805, in json return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs) File "/opt/python/2.6.9/lib/python2.6/json/__init__.py", line 307, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/opt/python/2.6.9/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 319, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/opt/python/2.6.9/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 338, in raw_decode raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded") ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded -------------------- >> begin captured stdout << --------------------- ... On this run there was no sign of an SQLite locking issue. This JSON problem went away on a re-run, sadly instead the test-set failed further on with an SQLite locking problem, see: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1158#issuecomment-168714547 Does this "No JSON object could be decoded" point at a file system issue (perhaps a race condition)? From searching the email archive this exception (although not necessarily from the same area of the code) seems to occur most often where Galaxy is being used with a cluster. But here this is all running on a single TravisCI VM with the local job runner. I appreciate there probably isn't enough information here to solve this, but perhaps we need better logging here - are the JSON files simply empty for example? Regards, Peter
