I detected another problem which enables me to go further, however doesn't resolve the whole problem yet.

the function get_initial value didn't use the history in the recursive call, which led to an empty history. I changed it juste adding history to the input.get_initial_value
 def get_initial_value( self, trans, context, history=None ):
        rval = []
        for i in range( self.default ):
            rval_dict = { '__index__': i}
            for input in self.inputs.itervalues():
                rval_dict[ input.name ] = input.get_initial_value( trans, context, history )
            rval.append( rval_dict )
        return rval
There is another problem though.

On the bioblend side:

                }
            ]
        },
        "type": "error"
    }
}

On the galaxy side, there is no error message.

Sorry for the many mails but I prefer to keep you updated so you don"t waste time.

Yes, indeed,

the log from galaxy are the following:

The first error was due to the fact that bioblend function run_tools; gave galaxy a dump of the input_dicts which type is string where galaxy was waiting for an item structure.
I removed the dump:

        payload["inputs"] = tool_inputs
instead of
        payload["inputs"] = dumps(tool_inputs)


However, there is another error afterwards which is:

Hard to infer much from this, usually when I get this error there is a
full stack trace for this error in the Galaxy logs giving some
indication what went wrong.

I copied the HTML into a new document, opened it, and copied the
stacktrace produced by Galaxy - it looks like this:

Internal Server Error

Galaxy was unable to successfully complete your request

URL:
http://galaxy.web.pasteur.fr/api/tools?key=c23d8cb98671911813305051710d4ae1

Module galaxy.web.framework.middleware.remoteuser:96 in __call__
   return self.app( environ, start_response )
Module paste.httpexceptions:633 in __call__

Module galaxy.web.framework:201 in decorator
   log.exception( 'Uncaught exception in exposed API method:'+
str(err),exc_info=True)
TypeError: exception() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exc_info'


So what is happening here is and error is occurring when Galaxy is
trying to log another error - causing the API to break down. I don't
think the newest release of Galaxy has this line:

log.exception( 'Uncaught exception in exposed API method:'+
str(err),exc_info=True)

I am not sure what exc_info is - but it looks like it shouldn't be
there. You may want to remove that and see if you get a cleaner error
message that is easier to interpret.

Hope this helps.

Dear Developers,

I would like to use bioblend to export the result of a galaxy workflow.

To do that, we want to use an implemented tool called export_data; which
enables the copy of a result file from galaxy arborescence to a local
directory which belong to the user making the analysis and the export.

We tried to launch this tool using the run_tool function but it doesn't
work.



giOlivia.tools.run_tool(history_id='xxxxxxxxxxx',tool_id='yyyyyyyy/export_data/export/2.2',tool_inputs={'input':'id_data','name':"data"})

I get an error message which is very long and attached to this email.

Please help me on that it is the final step of several ones using
bioblend.

Have a nice day,
