complex help for conditional param
by Jun Fan 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi all, In the conditional param, when sub-element allows you to write specific parameters for a particular value selected. I am wondering how to write the help context according to the value selection. For example, if there is a conditional param called blast_type, when "blastn" is selected, the help context will be "blast dna against dna" and when "blastp" is selected, the help context will be "blast protein against protein". Basically this selection-based help text provides a general description of the selection, which could help to set up the corresponding parameters. By the way, is there any document about formatting text in the help element? Best regards! Jun

RFC: Citations for tools
by Eric Rasche 28 May '14

28 May '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd want to open up discussion on a feature I'd like to see. I'll try and implement it if I can find time this summer. I didn't see a trello card for anything like this yet, but please feel free to direct me there if I missed it. I'd like to see citations as a part of every tool. This would happen in the form of a <citation> block in the XML, which would contain sub-elements with text. These sub-elements could be based off of BibTeX, since they have existing specs for citing things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX These citations would then be accessible in the HTML generated tool pages, or via a View/Download button somewhere on the tool page. By storing as an XML tree, we could render these citations as BibTeX entries for the LaTeX users, and I believe there are ways to convert BibTeX to EndNote XML and so on. This could be extended for use in workflows so that when you run workflows, somehow a list of citations for all tools used could be generated. Anyone have thoughts or opinions on this? Using the example bibtex entry from the wikipedia page: @Book{abramowitz+stegun, author = "Milton {Abramowitz} and Irene A. {Stegun}", title = "Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables", publisher = "Dover", year = 1964, address = "New York", edition = "ninth Dover printing, tenth GPO printing" } I imagine it'd look like the following in a real-life tool: <tool> ... <citation type="book"> <author>Milton Abramowitz and Irene A. Stegun"</author> <title>Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables</title> <publisher>Dover</publisher> <year>1964</year> <address>New York</address> <edition>ninth Dover printing, tenth GPO printing</edition> </citation> </tool> Cheers, Eric - -- Eric Rasche Programmer II Center for Phage Technology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843 404-692-2048 esr(a)tamu.edu rasche.eric(a)yandex.ru -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJThMEUAAoJEMqDXdrsMcpVe9AP/1BjPbP5JdK6KDybOeV2ElvC jvmUGetAjdQzkKO1Ikeuxb46yp0j4abAGGG92AccxlBYALsT3jsPv5dYjm505vcU IwlfTBE7gc5y19x3zx1CuAd7PB11tryODz2LwXNKI75f39bNdX6Qe5aA74Vn/k8a FBeFL/EvkZwI8Z6CvuTGtZrEHvDXVvTFoxMX875f59g2vNy7W8Fh5wQCQ8qgiogi 0SWGIGZ6OJdqX60h2hOjJ06NhzBcTsjQea+AwTo5wAkyGPFJy4DV78jKOvsd5PMG qkk4U6gBcmcFolCeItlLPa/C4uiyOK2wVWHyTnEeKjdpD6dwLuemRmwtZrModbQu PPPFkKzQhUnh5Wgq8TIP4kSc2t1/jSpdV8MHqM0piqOFnR52fExPrwLn82WEFcp8 tXfHHTaZj+6gL+IGswdAgqvxk1V+6QTjH57igWmYtcENpIDbhZVBh+HOD8SS2qdv ohwFg/Vn8VrCeTGGehNSBvkam0HXjXXq7mZ8W4xrOS8vxv8HPAFZHze2sPlUG/Ob WeOdiLgD2HCH95SXYDDBNFG6HwFkLETA3DjpfvgHqPdaLmEfIZW+ks1WF9RG+Pmo jhbWH8OmtTk5A/Zh63uRowMaDe7QSCruPIfIwlrgqLozOj8htMyJPBIW9oZGGkqC 7Vu5UFeL8gcigRmQv5NA =ceAo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Problem using Galaxy with a PostgreSQL database on a remote host
by Paniagua, Eric 27 May '14

27 May '14

Dear Galaxy Developers, I've been banging my head against this one for a few days now. I have two Galaxy instances. One resides on a server called "genomics", which also hosts the corresponding PostgreSQL installation. The second also resides on "genomics", but its database is hosted on "wigserv5". Based on the tests I just ran and code I just read, sqlalchemy (not Galaxy) is ignoring the hostname/port part of the database_connection string. For reference, the connection strings I've tried are: postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@/glxeric?host=/tmp postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu/glxeric?host=/tmp postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu:5432/glxeric?host=/tmp postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@adgdgdfdflkhjfdhfkl/glxeric?host=/tmp All of these appear to result in Galaxy connecting to the PostgreSQL installation on genomics, as determined by Galaxy schema version discrepancies and other constraints. With each connection string, Galaxy starts up normally. I force database activity by browsing saved histories. It works every time. By all appearances, the second Galaxy instance is using the PostgreSQL database hosted on "genomics", not on "wigserv5". All databases and roles exist, and the databases are populated. When I comment out the "database_connection" line in universe_wsgi.ini, I get errors arising from the later configuration of PostgreSQL-specific Galaxy options, as expected. I can connect to the database server on "wigserv5" using "psql -h wigserv5.cshl.edu -d glxeric -U glxeric" from the server "genomics". Have you ever observed this behavior from Galaxy or sqlalchemy? Thanks, Eric

ToolShed: Uploaded archives can only include regular directories and files
by Peter Cock 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi Greg, Dave, I just tried to upload an updated tar-ball to the Test ToolShed and got a red error message: <quote> Uploaded archives can only include regular directories and files (no symbolic links, devices, etc). Offender: </quote> Note no offending files were listed. When I double checked I had prepared my tar-ball from the wrong source directory and it did contain symlinks, but the Tool Shed error message failed to list these. Regards, Peter

Changes in admin menu - Upload files
by Julien Daligault 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi, I manage a galaxy instance on a local server and I want that users use only the "filesystem paths" to create a link to their data by the Admin Menu. Where can I find the source file to modify the web page in order to appear directly this option in first in the drop-down menu ? It will avoid to load directly big data on our computing machine.

Galaxy queue
by Neil.Burdett＠csiro.au 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hi, is there anyway to find out (from the command line or api) what is on the Galaxy queue? When items are queued they appear in grey or processing in yellow can I get hold of these details from the command line as I could then email the user who has just submitted a job with his place on queue and expected wait time. Thanks Neil

uninstalling tools via web api
by Evan Bollig 23 May '14

23 May '14

I notice that the galaxy web api for installing tools from the toolshed does not include any entrypoint for uninstalling tools. This must be intentional, but what was the motivation to leave this out?

new_tool_panel_section_label web api
by Evan Bollig 23 May '14

23 May '14

I am using the new_tool_panel_section_label option when installing tools from the toolshed (via scripts/api/install_tool_shed_repository.py. It works, but I'm curious if its producing the wrong result. See the attached image. I have installed a bunch of tools with new_tool_panel_section_label="Other (Main Tool Shed)". I see in the tool_conf.xml that the tool is installed under a section, and the section name gives the menu option its string (e.g., "Other (Main Tool Shed)"). A <label> on the other hand is contained within a section and gives a subheading string (see expected_section_and_label.png). If the parameter "new_tool_panel_section_label" specifies the section_name, what option exists to specify the label? Or perhaps was the "*_label" option intended to provide the subheading and another option (e.g., new_tool_panel_section_name supposed to exist)?
